Steps

1

Add 4 cups of water in a pot and a teaspoon of salt and let it boil on a medium hot heat.
2

Once water boils, slowly add the Sift flour onto the water while stirring with a wooden spoon.
3

After adding flour it will become very thick making it hard to stir.
4

At this point you need to remove any lumps by stiring and mixing hard, add more water to help the process.
Remove the genfo from the heat. Add melted butter or oil into a bowl and scoop the genfo into the bowl in one big ball.
5

In the centre of the genfo ball, make a well using your spoon.
Then add your melted butter and “berbere “and “mitemita “while still hot.
Mix the berebere and melted butter well and serve.
