How to make Galettes (French-Canadian fried bread)

buckwheat flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while all-purpose is more affordable.

creme fraiche

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt is lower in fat and adds creaminess.

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: bacon

Turkey provides lean protein, while bacon is often less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Mix buckwheat flour and salt in a bowl.

Whisk in eggs until smooth.

Gradually add water and milk, stirring until combined.

Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt butter.

Pour a ladle of batter into the skillet, swirling to coat evenly.

Cook until edges lift and bottom is golden, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip and cook the other side until lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes.

Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.

Fill with desired toppings like cheese, ham, or vegetables.

Fold and serve hot with a dollop of creme fraiche.
