Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionHeat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high.
Add leek, season with kosher salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until leek is softened and starting to brown, about 4 minutes.
Add squash and season again.
Cook, stirring often, until squash is cooked through and softened, about 4 minutes.
Transfer vegetables to a plate and let cool.
Wipe out skillet and reserve.
Meanwhile, whisk egg, chickpea flour, baking powder, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl; season with pepper and let sit 5 minutes for flour to hydrate.

Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in reserved skillet over medium-high.
Add batter by the 1/4-cupful to make 4 pancakes, gently flattening to about 1/4" thick.

Cook until bottoms are lightly browned and bubbles form on top, about 4 minutes.
Use a spatula to carefully flip pancakes over and cook until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes longer.
Transfer to a plate and tent with a sheet of foil to keep warm.
Repeat with another 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and remaining batter.
Serve pancakes topped with yogurt, parsley, sea salt, and pepper.
