Dabo Kolo (Crunchy Spice Bites)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

In a bowl combine flour, berbere, sugar and salt.

Gradually mix in about ⅔ cup of water until a thick paste is formed.

Dump the mixture onto a floured board and knead until you have a stiff dough.

Make a well in the centre of the dough ball and pour in the oil.

Fold the dough over the oil and knead for another 5 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth to keep it moist.

Break off chunks to roll into ¼ inch round strips.

Cut these strips into ½ inch long pieces, preferably using scissors so that the ends will be pinched.

Bake on a flat sheet for 20 to 30 minutes until crisp.

Stir 2 or 3 times to ensure even browning.

When cool, store in an airtight container.
