  • **1/2 cup rice flour (rice flour can be slightly grainy) helps to make the galette crispier.

Instructions

1

Soak buckwheat grains in water for 2 hours allow it to stand for 2 hours. This will allow the mucilage to form and allow for the batter to coagulate create consistency close to adding eggs to batter.

2

Add the soaked buckwheat with water into a blender and mix it until you reach a smooth consistency.

3

*If you are in a hurry you can add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to hasten the fermenting process of the batter and you are good to go.

4

5

Pour one-third cup of batter onto a preheated hot pan or with a scoop spoon using the underside of the scoop gently spread the dough from the middle to the outer side in a spiral motion, gradually expanding the spiral you will see the batter spreading evenly on the hot pan.

Let it cook slowly for 3 to 4 minutes depending on how thin you spread the batter over the hot plate or skillet.

This takes a little while until you get used to it, and after a couple of tries, you will be an expert at it. The first time it will mostly break or damage, don’t be discourage try again, and it will get better.

9

When the edges are, and the middle part gets slightly brown it's time to flip the pancake. Make as many as you can and set it aside.

Notes

** Rice flour can be slightly grainy and it will help to make the galette crispier. The size of your galette will depend entirely on you and on the size of the hot plate and the quantity of batter on your scoop spoon. With practice, you will get the hang of it. You are not going to get right the first time, you may get broken pieces, it's ok all are still edible. Keep trying and Have fun at it. 🙂
