8. Batter will be quite thin.

9. Heat a 10-inch or 12-inch non-stick frying pan over medium to medium-high heat.

10. Pour batter into heated pan (1/2 c. if using a 12-inch pan; 1/3 c. if using a 10-inch pan) and quickly swirl pan to spread batter as thin as possible.

11. Batter should be no thicker than 1/8 inch.

13. Injera is cooked through when bubbles appear all over the top.
