Teff is the grain whose flour is used to make "injera", the traditional
Ethiopian sourdough flatbread. I do not know if it is used in any other
fashion. You might find the following URL of interest. I have not tried
this recipe, but it seems to be fairly authentic, as it is a genuine
sourdough made with teff, unlike many other injera recipes on the web,
which call for such ingredients as whole wheat flour and self-rising flour.
