1. 1Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, salt, and olive oil until smooth. You can strain the batter if clumps form. Let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature (allow the chickpea flour to fully hydrate).
2. 2Step 2: Brush the cast iron pan generously with olive oil and place it over high heat for 3–5 minutes until the oil is sizzling.
3. 3Step 3: Preheat your oven's broiler on high. Position the rack about 6 inches from the heat source—too close and the socca may burn before cooking through.
