I have never used it but found this online:

Teff is a very versatile grain. Teff flour can be used as

a substitute for part of the flour in baked goods, or the

grains added uncooked or substituted for part of the seeds,

nuts, or other small grains. Due to it's small size, only

1/2 Cup of teff is needed to replace 1 cup of sesame seeds.

It is a good thickener for soups, stews, gravies, and

puddings and can also be used in stir-fry dishes, and

casseroles. Teff may be added to soups or stews in either

of two ways: 1) Add them, uncooked to the pot a half-hour

before serving time. 2) Add them cooked to the pot 10

minutes before serving. Cooked teff can be mixed with herbs,

seeds, beans or tofu, garlic, and onions to make grain

burgers. The seeds can also be sprouted and the sprouts

used in salads and on sandwiches.

 

To cook teff place 2 cups distilled water, 1/2 cup teff,

and 1/4 tsp. sea salt (optional) in a saucepan. Bring to a

boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 15 to 20 minutes

or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let

stand covered for 5 minutes.

 

Teff should be stored in a cool, dark, dry place in tightly

covered containers such as glass jars. Cooked Teff can be

kept in the refrigerator, but should be used within a few days.

 

 

 

Teff Pancakes

 

1 cup cooked Teff

1/4 tsp. Sea salt

1 cup multigrain pancake mix or whole grain flour

1 cup water or enough to make pancake batter

1 tbsp. Oil (optional)

 

Mix all ingredients; cook on a hot oiled griddle.

 

 

 

Teff Carob Cookies

 

3/4 cup rice flour

1/4 cup barley flour

1-1/2 tbsp. Carob powder

1/4 cup uncooked teff

1/4 cup molasses or maple syrup

1/2 cup water or soymilk

1/4 tsp. Almond extract

 

Mix dry ingredients. Mix liquids. Combine mixtures. Drop

small spoonfuls onto oiled baking sheet. Bake at 350º for

8-10 minutes.

 

 

 

You can google " teff flour recipe " for my ideas

 

Hope this helps a little
