Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 250 g buckwheat flour
  • 500 ml water

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Put the flour and salt in a salad bowl, dip a shaft and put the oil and the (whole) egg in. Turn slowly with a wooden spoon to begin to incorporate the water, bit after bit. Turn gently until the flour has disappeared ; turn very sharply so as to eliminate the lumps and obtain an homogeneous mixture. Finish pouring the water slowly while turning.
  • 2
    Leave the batter for at least one hour before cooking.

    To prepare :
  • 4
    Whisk the batter. Heat a non-stick pan, put a light knod of butter in (swirl the pan to distribute the melting butter ; the pan must be hot enough to hear the butter fry but not too hot for the butter must not get brown !), pour a small laddle of batter on the pan, while swirling it to distribute the batter evenly (this is the important trick !).
  • 5
    Cook until golden brown, turn the galette upside down and put the stuffing on the golden side ; the stuffing will heat and melt while the other side of the galette is getting brown. Slide the galette in a large plate, fold it in 2 and serve right away (or reserve in an oven plate which you will heat a couple minutes before serving).
  • 6
    Repeat for each galette.
  • Ready !
