I have never heard of pea flour - anyone else?

Might be Chickpea flour, used in health foods and asian dishes for many years. From chick peas or garbanzos.
Chick-pea flour: Gluten-free, chick-pea flour needs to be combined with wheat flour if making baked goods, but can holds its own in pancakes, crepes, and panelle (an Italian dish similar to polenta). Chick-pea flour pancakes are made by stirring water into the flour along with seasonings (no eggs or oil are necessary). The batter needs to sit for 30 minutes before using. For lump-free panelle, combine chick-pea flour and a little cold water to dissolve. Stir mixture into a pot of boiling salted water and cook, stirring all the while until thickened. Add cheese if you like. Pour into a pan or onto a work surface and let firm up. Cut into wedges and saute in olive oil. Serve as a side dish alongside meat or poultry.
