Ingredients:
- 1 cup chickpea flour (4 1/2 ounces)
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan and drizzling
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon za'atar (optional)
Equipment
- 10-inch cast iron skillet
- Flat spatula
- Knife
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk
Instructions:
- Prepare the chickpea batter. Whisk the chickpea flour, water, olive oil, and salt together in a medium bowl until smooth. Let rest for 30 minutes to give the flour time to absorb the water.
- Preheat the oven and then the pan. Arrange an oven rack 6 inches below the broiler element and heat to 450°F. About 5 minutes before the batter is done resting, place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven and turn the oven to broil.
- Add the batter to the prepared pan. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add about 1 teaspoon of oil, enough to coat the bottom of the pan when the pan is swirled. Pour the batter into the center of the pan. Tilt the pan so the batter coats the entire surface of the pan, if needed.
