Ingredients
- two cups wheat flour (all-purpose unbleached, or whole wheat work well)
- two tablespoons berberé spice mix
- one tablespoon sugar
- one teaspoon salt
- half cup water
- four tablespoons softened butter
Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F. In a clean mixing bowl, combine and mix dry ingredients (flour, berberé, sugar, and salt).
Slowly add the water and mix so as to form a thick paste. Remove the mixture from the bowl and knead it on a lightly-floured surface for a few minutes to form a thick dough. Add the softened butter and knead for an additional five minutes. Let the dough rest in a cool place for ten minutes.
Divide the dough into handful-size pieces and roll these into long "pencils" not quite as thick as your small finger. Cut these rolls into pieces (scissors can be used), each piece no longer than the width of your finger.
Heat an ungreased skillet over a medium heat. Place enough of the uncooked dabo kolo in the skillet to loosely cover the bottom. (They may have to be cooked in batches.) Cook over medium heat, stirring periodically, until they are lightly browned on all sides, -- OR -- Arrange on a baking sheet. Bake in a hot oven for twenty to thirty minutes, stirring or shaking the pan a few times to prevent sticking.
When done, remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Store in dry air-tight containers.
