Flour
Teff flour is the milled powder used for baking, dredging, batters, and thickening—behaviour depends on starch, protein, and how finely it is ground. Teff is known for tiny Ethiopian cereal with mild molasses notes, and the flour carries that into doughs and batters. Measure by weight when precision matters; hydrate carefully and cook raw flour tastes out of sauces. Store airtight and cool if the flour is wholemeal or oily.
