Buckwheat Flour Lox Galettes
- for the galettes
- 3 cups buckwheat flour
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 5 tablespoons cold water
- 1 egg
- olive oil with a delicate flavor
- for the filling
- 1 1/4 pounds of good lox
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 2 medium lemons
- dill
- black pepper
- In a bowl mix the buckwheat flour with the salt.
- Pour the water into the bowl in two or three times and mix together using a whisk. You must obtain a homogeneous and thick batter, then add the egg and mix again.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand 1 to 2 hours in the refrigerator (you could also prepare the batter the night before).
- While the galette batter is refrigerating, put the lox in a dish and sprinkle with the juice of one lemon.
- Grease a flat pan (the same you use for pancakes) with a flock of cotton/paper towel soaked in oil.
- Pour a ladleful of batter and wait for the galette taking color, then remove it with a spatula, and turn it. Let it cook about a minute and set aside in a platter.
- Prepare in this way the other buckwheat galettes and set aside one on top of the other.
- Leave the last galette in the pan, drain the lox if necessary and put a 1/10 of it in the center of the galette leaving a 3" border empty. Dust the lox with dill and a little black pepper.
- Pour 3 to 5 tablespoons of heavy cream (to taste) on top of the lox and quickly fold the galette's borders towards the center in order to close it giving it a rectangular shape.
- Heat over medium heat for about 3 minutes to warm the filling.
- Sprikle with a little lemon juice (optional). Serve hot and eat immedialy.
- Prepare the remaining ones in the same way.
