Preheat your pan.

In a clean mixing bowl, combine and mix dry ingredients (flour, berbere, sugar, and salt).

Slowly add the water and mix 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, each piece no longer than the width of your finger.

Heat an ungreased skillet over medium heat.

Place enough of the uncooked dabo kolo in the skillet to loosely cover the bottom.

Cook over medium heat, stirring periodically, until they are lightly browned on all sides.

When done, remove from skillet and allow to cool completely.
