Ingredients
  • 2 cups chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2-1/4 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Pepper

Directions
  1. In a blender, mix until smooth the flour, 3 tablespoons olive oil, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt
  2. Place a heavy griddle or 10- to 12-inch frying pan 4 to 6 inches over a solid bed of coals at medium-high heat (or on a range at medium-high heat). When pan is hot enough for a drop of water to dance, brush surface generously with oil. Pour enough batter to cover pan surface about 1/8 inch thick; use about 1 cup batter for a 10-inch round, 1-1/3 cups for a 12-inch round, 2 cups for a 16-inch round. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until bottom is lightly browned and top is dry to touch, 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Slash pancake into random-shaped serving-size pieces (about 2 by 3 inches). Slide off griddle with a wide spatula and mound into a napkin or onto a plate to eat hot. Repeat to cook remaining batter.

I LOVE chickpeas, no matter what you do with them! This is definitely a keeper for me. When my children were small, I used to tell them that chickpeas were yellow olives. They loved olives, and at least that made it possible for them to try them.


This is terrific! My friend used to make these for me. I can't wait to make them myself! Thank you.
