My organic shopping excursion this AM was most fruitful! I found real honey, xanthin gum and tapioca flour which they tell me is tapioca starch. I also bought "peeled millet.“ The bag says no more than that. 

Alec, you are way over my head with the various types of millet. 

I assume I will put my bag of millet  in a food processor and make flour. The recipe that I will be developing - directly translated is:
Make dough with millet flour, salt and a little water, kneading it into a round shape. Make it think if it is to be baked and thin if fried. Cover the outer layer with sesame seeds, anise and green anise. Cook immediately before the dough deteriorates.
