In a large mixing bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, water, salt, and black pepper until a smooth batter forms with the consistency of thin pancake batter
Let the batter rest for 15 minutes at room temperature to allow the chickpea flour to fully hydrate
Heat a 30cm non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Once the oil is shimmering, pour approximately 150ml of batter into the center of the pan and immediately tilt and rotate to spread evenly into a thin circle
Cook for 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy, then flip carefully and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned
Transfer to a cutting board and sprinkle with fresh rosemary, thyme, and coarse sea salt while still warm
Cut into wedges or strips and serve immediately with lemon wedges and fresh herbs as garnish
Repeat with remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed between pancakes
