Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a 9-inch round ceramic baking pan with softened butter.

Lightly beat the two eggs in a food blender.

Mix the chickpea flour, milk, olive oil, eggs, salt, and cumin in the blender until you get a smooth, liquidy texture.

Pour the mixture into the greased baking pan.

Bake the Karane for 40 to 45 minutes.

After 40 minutes, check if the Karane is done; it should be set but still soft and wobbly.

Place the baking pan on the top rack of the oven and broil for 3 minutes until the crust becomes brown.

Serve hot or warm, either as is with a spoon or in a baguette with harisa.
