Galettes

Buckwheat pancakes with different fillings (classic: cheese + ham + egg). My love from the first time. comes from Brittany and Normandy (every village there will have its own pancake house), but can be found many places. And there is a difference: in Brittany, such pancakes are made exclusively on buckwheat flour, while in Normandy they use a mixture of wheat and buckwheat flour. I personally like the Breton version better. The pancakes themselves are elementary: flour + water + salt. That’s it. But here are the results!

These pancakes are usually eaten with apple cider from the pils. Tasty, traditional, and inexpensive. The pancake (with egg, ham and cheese) can be found from 6,90 € – it’s a classic. Perverted variations of the pancake filling (e.g. scallops) can raise the price to 15 euros. But all in all, it’s a delicious and inexpensive option to eat in France! One of my favorites.
