Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan). Line a baking tray.

  2. 2

    Mix the flour, sugar, berbere and salt in a bowl. Rub in the oil, then add the water a little at a time to make a firm dough.

  3. 3

    Knead for 2 minutes. Cut the dough into 4 pieces and roll each into a long rope as thick as your finger.

  4. 4

    Cut the ropes into small pieces about 1 cm long and spread them on the tray.

  5. 5

    Bake for 25 minutes, shaking the tray halfway, until golden and crisp.

    25 min

    Cool completely on the tray. Store in an airtight tin.
