A common form of galette resembles a type of single crust, free-form pie with a fruit filling and the crust folded partway over the top of the filling, as you can read on Wikipedia. It’s an easy homemade version which can be compared with puff pastry. Today I seem to be in a French mood. … More La galette in a sweet version
Why do I keep on buying cookbooks if Google can show it all? Because I can’t help it, and, because books in general attract me much more than internet.
