Dabo Kolo

==Ingredients==
* 2 cups wheat flour (all-purpose unbleached, or whole wheat work well)
* 2 tablespoons berbere spice mix
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* ½ cup water
* four tablespoons softened butter
==Directions==
# Preheat oven to 350°F.
# In a clean mixing bowl, combine and mix dry ingredients (flour, berbere, 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.
