⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups water (more if needed)
  • Vegetable oil (for cooking)

Instructions

Prepare the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.

Gradually add the water, whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth, pourable batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter. Add more water if needed.

Heat the Pan

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.

Cook the Goraasa

Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the hot skillet, spreading it out into a thin, even layer, similar to making a crepe or pancake.

Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly browned.

Flip the goraasa and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.

Remove from the skillet and place on a plate. Cover with a clean cloth to keep warm.

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

Serve

Goraasa is traditionally served with stews, soups, or as a side dish to various meals.

It can also be enjoyed on its own or with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of sugar for a sweet treat.

Enjoy your meal!
