Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Chickpea Flour
  • 1 cup Water
  • 3 tablespoon Olive Oil plus extra for the pan
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Rosemary optional, for garnish

  1. 1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, olive oil, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes.
  2. 2. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a cast iron skillet in the oven to heat up.
