Receta en español
Tô is the staple dish of Burkina Faso , Mali , Benin or Togo.
They eat it every day accompanied by sauces, it is served in a common dish and eaten with one hand. It is made with sorghum , millet, maize or cassava flour by adding water , the same style of other basic dishes like in other African countries as the ones I presented months before: Funge (from Angola) or Bogobe (from Bostwana).
I used millet for the recipe of tô that I took from this Facebook page that has lots of information about food in this country:

My comments to the recipe
It is simple to make , perhaps a little heavy because you have to stirr continuously to avoid it from burning , be careful when flour is hot because the bubbles make the flour splash and you can be burned , to prevent it just stirr continuosly.
