Western French Pancake Recipe – Savory Crepes (Galettes)

While in France, I went to a restaurant and tried Galettes, and I was surprised at how delicious they were! So when I arrived in Toulouse, my French host from Couchsurfing taught me how to make Galettes. I found that making this delicacy is not difficult at all!

Now, let’s take a look at how to make this light meal from western France—Galettes! 😋😋😋

Ingredients

Buckwheat Flour	4 tablespoons (about 40g)
Oil	10g approx.
Eggs	2
Water	300ml
Bacon	2 Slices
Cheese	2 Slices

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

1. Add 4 tablespoons of buckwheat flour.
2. Add 2 eggs and mix well.
3. Add a small amount of oil, water, and salt.
4. If the batter is too dry, add more water; if too runny, add more buckwheat flour until the batter reaches the right consistency.

Step 2: Cook the Batter

1. Heat a frying pan on high heat and add a small amount of oil or butter. Don’t add too much; just ensure the batter doesn’t stick to the pan.
2. Once the oil is hot, turn to medium heat and pour in the batter. The batter will quickly set, and after a while you can flip it over.

Step 3: Add the Ingredients

1. After pouring in the batter, add the pre-cooked bacon and cheese.
2. Crack an egg on top, and add pepper and salt. You can add other seasonings according to your taste.
3. Fold the four edges of the crepe and cover with a lid to cook the egg.

Step 4: Finish

Once the egg is cooked, the Galette is ready to enjoy!

Although it might not look as refined as from a restaurant, it definitely tastes just as yummy! Besides the savory Galettes, we also made an apple-flavored one, which has a sweet and sour taste.
