Usually, galettes are unleavened crackers, but this word comes from the French language: in France, galettes are called pancakes. One of the popular cooking options is a Breton galette made with buckwheat flour. It is often cooked with fried eggs, bacon and cheese. Buckwheat flour is difficult to handle due to the lack of gluten, but this is compensated by its native taste.
