Method

Sieve the flour and 1 tsp salt into a large bowl. Slowly whisk in 700ml water, until smooth.
Put 1½ tbsp olive oil into a 22cm nonstick frying pan and set over a high heat. When hot, pour in a quarter of the batter, swirling to cover the base. Fry for 2-3 mins, until the base is slightly crisp and golden, then carefully flip over and fry for another 1-2 mins, until firm and cooked through. Keep warm in the oven and repeat 3 times with the remaining batter.
To serve, drizzle a little olive oil over the pancakes and season. Scatter the rocket, olives, red peppers and parsley over the 4 pancakes.
