"Socca" Pancake (Batter)

Socca are chickpea pancakes or flatbread.
I cook it as oily pancakes but it can also be oven cooked or grilled for a drier, flatbread type pancake.

to make the batter:

1 cup (140g) Chickpea flour
1 cup (maybe bit more) water
Big pinch of salt
Olive oil

Seive flour, add salt, pour in water whilst wisking with a hand wisk.
Leave to stand for at least half hour but longer if possible to let flour soak up water.

Here's a link to other cooking methods:

I then tend to fry garlic and ginger for 30 seconds or some shallots (something with bags of flavour), add chopped fresh herbs or spice (curcuma or curry) then pour the batter over, cook on a high heat for a few mins then reduce heat, flip over and let cook through - prob 15mins in all. I like to really overcook (i.e Burn this... lol!)

Bon apetit! (photos to come, c'est promis!)
