French Buckwheat Galette

The French buckwheat  galette  comes from a region of Bretonne or Britanny in english and different cultures have their own specialty. We will call it crepes or pancakes, depending on the toppings, we can also make it into a thin Pizza or dessert with homemade carob cream, or chocolate similar to Nutella.

Buckwheat (Galette) is a simple buckwheat pancake recipe, but its spectacular and one of my all time favorites as a snack and complete mealing depanding on the filling. First time you this recipes, It can be a bit tricky to get used to putting the batter onto the hot plate in a circular shape  but after some practice and following the instructions, you will get the hang of it. You can make it the size you like. You can have it as a dessert with something sweet or savory with salads, as a wrap just with pesto, and anything you fancy.

Buckwheat is commonly mistaken for cereal; however, it is actually a rhubarb-related fruit seed. It is not a type of wheat or related to it in any way. It’s a short-season crop that grows swiftly and thrives on low-fertility or acidic soils. It ripens in 10-11 weeks after sowing.

Buckwheat seed is used whole or ground into flour, buckwheat flower nectar is used to make rich honey, and the hulls that enclose the seed are used as upholstery fillers.

Tips: To make it even easier, you can also use buckwheat flour instead of soaking and grinding the cereal.  You can also add half of the buckwheat and half the quantity of rice flour to have a different type of Gallet.
