Pear and Apple Buckwheat Crêpe Galettes

Hi guys! This is Gab from Artful Desperado. Today I’m gonna share with you a very easy recipe to make some crêpe galettes. You may think “wait what? Aren’t galettes made out of dough?” And yes they are mostly here in North America, but back in the old continent, mainly France, they make a kind called Breton Galette, which is traditionally made with a buckwheat pancake (or crêpe) with a savoury filling.

I tried the original version of the Breton Galette while visiting a friend in Paris, and I must say, I was hooked! I love the distinct flavour of buckwheat, which is almost like toasted hops (without being bitter though), and it’s such an easy dish to make! Just make a big batch of crepes and keep them in the freezer for whenever you need them (or for whenever your sweet or savoury tooth attacks).

For this recipe I gave it a mini twist and I swapped the classic savoury filling for a sweet one; apples, pears, rum, and brown sugar. I also added an extra step by baking them in the oven for a few minutes to develop a crunchy crust. Top it all with some coconut cream (or whipping cream) and you’re in business!

Let’s make a batch, yes? Come over to our French kitchen!

You can totally serve these galettes for brunch with a side of honey (like I did) or maple syrup. They’re so versatile that you can repeat the same recipe anytime using seasonal fruit (summer= loads of berries!).

Hope you enjoy this sweet little treat. Until next time!

Gab.
