- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups buckwheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- flavorless oil, such as peanut or sunflower
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 2 large onions, very finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- Salt and pepper
- 1 pound smoked bacon lardons
- 1 heaping cup Gruyere or Emmenthal, shredded
- 6 large eggs
- Sift the flours and salt into a large bowl and make a well in the center.
- Beat together the milk, water and eggs in a bowl and gradually pour into the well, beating the flour into it as you go.
- Stir in the melted butter and let the batter sit.
- For the filling, melt the butter in a saucepan and sweat the onions over very low heat.
- You may need to add a splash of water to stop them from sticking to the bottom of the pan the onions must not color, but should soften (about 20 minutes).
- Add the cream, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Saute the bacon in its own fat and set aside.
- To cook the galettes, heat a tiny bit of oil in a large skillet.
- Add half a ladleful of the batter and swirl it around so that it reaches all the sides.
- The batter for these is thicker than normal crepe batter, so you have to really swirl it to get it to move.
- Cook until brown and set underneath, then flip the pancake over with a spatula and cook the other side.
- Add a little more oil for each pancake.
