Farinata (Chickpea Pancake) - Italian street food at home

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of chickpea flour, 1 and 3/4 cups of water, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to create a batter.

Stir the batter until well combined; it should have a consistency similar to crepe batter.

Let the batter rest for 1 hour.

After resting, stir the batter again before using.

Heat an iron skillet in the oven until hot.

Add a little olive oil to the hot skillet and brush it around to coat the surface.

Pour the chickpea batter into the hot skillet.

Return the skillet to the oven and bake for about 30 minutes.

After baking, remove the skillet from the oven using a hot pad.

Slice the farinata like a pizza or pie and serve.
