Galettes, specifically buckwheat galettes (galettes de sarrasin), have their roots in Brittany, France. Buckwheat was introduced to the region in the 15th century, offering a resilient crop that thrived in Brittany's less fertile soil. This led to buckwheat becoming a staple and the development of galettes as a common food.

The flavors of a galette are deeply savory, often featuring nutty buckwheat notes balanced by rich fillings.
The base, made from buckwheat flour, water, and salt, imparts an earthy and slightly bitter flavor. Common fillings include ham, cheese (especially Emmental or Gruyère), eggs, mushrooms, spinach, and other vegetables. The combination of the savory crepe with these ingredients creates a rich and satisfying flavor profile. Butter is often used in the cooking process, adding to the richness.

Buckwheat Flour Quality
Use high-quality buckwheat flour for the best flavor and texture. Look for flour that is finely ground and has a fresh, nutty aroma.
Batter Resting
Allow the batter to rest for at least an hour, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator. This allows the flour to fully hydrate, resulting in a more tender and pliable galette.
Cooking Technique
Use a well-seasoned crepe pan or non-stick skillet. Ensure the pan is hot before adding the batter, and use a crepe spreader or spatula to evenly distribute the batter into a thin, circular shape.
Butter is Key
Using butter in the cooking process creates richness and helps the galette brown beautifully. A generous amount of butter helps ensure a crispy edge.
