Directions to make Galettes :

 

  1. Whisk the ingredients until the dough is smooth with no lumps. Let it rest for 1 hour.
  2. Heat your crepe pan to hot and melt a little butter in it. Pour a thin layer of dough and spread it out so it covers the pan. Cook for about 30 seconds on each side.
  3. Lower the heat and add the fillings. Fold the galette in half, or each side up to still see a little of the fillings.
  4. If you want to serve all the galettes at once, keep the finished ones in the oven (140°F).

 

All galettes can be enjoyed with traditional hard Breton cider.

Wherever possible we prefer to travel on our own as opposed to going on a tour package. With France - Just For You, they arranged for a vehicle and booked us into a couple of lovely B&B’s and a great Boutique Hotel in Paris and booked a couple of activities that we were interested in. Besides that, they put together a book for us with everything we …

Laura did the planning and gave us an amazing itinerary, and was available at a moment's notice when we had a plane cancellation on our flight to Bordeaux and …
