Brush a 24 cm/9½ in non stick frying pan with oil. Heat frying pan over a medium high heat add a quarter of the batter, using a ladle spreading the mixture until it covers most of the surface. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until the socca is golden brown. Carefully turn and cook the other side, until golden brown. Place the soccas onto greaseproof paper on a baking tray.
