Galettes

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 12 galettes

Ingredients

2 cups (275 grams) buckwheat flour
2 cups (500 milliliters) hard cider
4 large eggs, separated
1 scant teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoonClarified Butter

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Place the flour in a medium-size bowl. Slowly whisk in the cider to form a smooth batter, then whisk in the egg yolks and the salt. Whisk vigorously for several minutes, until the batter is smooth and the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

    Step 2

    2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form and then fold them into the batter.

    Step 3

    3. Heat a 10 inch (25.5 cm) nonstick or cast-iron skillet or crêpe pan over medium-high heat. Brush it lightly with clarified butter.

    Step 4

    4. Pour one half cup of the batter in the center of the skillet and quickly rotate the skillet to spread the batter as evenly as possible across the bottom. It won't cover the entire bottom, which is fine. The galettes end up being about 9-inches (22.5cm) in diameter.

    Step 5

    5. Cook the galette until golden on one side, about 1 minute. If it is browning too quickly, reduce the heat slightly. Turn the galette over in the skillet and continue cooking just until it is set on the other side, an additional 1 minute. Serve the galettes immediately, hot from the skillet.

5-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
Yes, it's a shortcut in a microwave. It's also a gooey, fudgy, wildly good chocolate cake.
Grape Dumplings
Native American people made these with cornmeal dumplings, simmering them with wild grapes, which were harvested at their peak sweetness.
Black Sesame Tofu “Basque” Cheesecake
There are many things that appeal about a Basque cheesecake—it's crustless (one less job) and is meant to look “rustic” with its wrinkled and jagged sides.
Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
Jammy Grape Galette
We don’t bake with grapes as often as we should. But even the most average supermarket varieties come alive when roasted with a bit of sugar and seasoning.
Wampanoaug Clam Fritters
The clams’ natural briny sweetness serves as a surprising foil for the tender fritter batter—just be sure to pull off the tough outer coating of the siphon.
