socca (chickpea pancakes): great toddler snack!

[Guest guest]

I would like to share this wonderful discovery. Socca

is a chickpea pancake originating from Nice. There are

a few recipes at

http://www.traveltastes.com/garbanzo.htm and many

other websites, but I make mine with 1 cup chickpea

flour, one cup of water, half a teaspoon of salt, and

two tablespoons of olive oil, whisked together and

baked in an oven-safe nonstick skillet at 475 for

10-15 minutes. My 16-month-old picky daughter actually

likes them, which makes me happy because she's been

rejecting legumes for a while.

 

I also replace some wheat flour with chickpea flour in

pancakes, muffins and other bready things. I get it in

bulk at Whole Foods--it's actually quite cheap.
