Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing crackers from Eragrostis tef flour. The method comprises mixing Eragrostis tef flour with a liquid medium and allowing the obtained batter to stand to obtain a fermented batter. The fermented batter is then uniformly spread to a wall thickness in the range of 3 mm to 5 mm on a heated griddle to obtain a crepe with random air pockets. The crepe is placed between a pair of heated discs and an incremental axially directed pressure is applied to reduce the wall thickness in the range of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm to obtain the cracker. The crackers prepared by the method of the present disclosure retain the nutritional properties, are palatable, easily chewable and can be used as a healthy addition to the routinely used diet.
