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.

A "Pinch Me" Tour. Expertly organised. We just spent the most wonderful month in France on our honeymoon curated by Laura and Emilie in such a way that we felt we experienced the very essence of France.

The suggestions Emilie made all worked amazingly well and so did the …

Thanks so much for all of …

There are not enough superlatives for our experience with Emilie. Prompt correspondence and thorough questions led to the perfect vacation for my family. Her choice of hotels in Paris and Provence were exactly what I would have chosen on my own. Her tour guide recommendations were spot on. The fact that she arranged all of our transfers, train …

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 …

She even delivered on the perfect weather we asked for! All of the accommodations were very comfortable and the hosts were so friendly, helpful, and fluent in English. Although I am not usually a …
