  1. in Russia sweet and savoury crepes (blini) are a national dish and you can literally make them with anything! the most popular fillings are ham&cheese, minced meat with or without sour cream, mushrooms cooked with cream, salted salmon with cream cheese, salmon roe
    in my family the most cooked version is with minced meat and pickled cucumbers, but personally i swap meat for ham
    the sweet version can be as basic as simply folding plain blini and dipping them in jam or in sour cream and then sugar, or you can make a filling of cottage cheese and raisins

  2. Galletes are also gluten free if you make them the traditional way with buckwheat flour. It was a great treat for my partner when we were in Paris!

  3. This guy is a fraud. He never puts recipes with amounts. Maybe cause the close up camera shots aren't him cooking it and he doesn't actually know the recipe. Hmm. Very fishy

  4. My brother always makes me savory crêpes as breakfast with eggs, cheese, and some vegetables. SOOOOOO good.

  5. My favorite crepe I've ever had was from a food truck up here in Alaska called Crepe Paris. It was a Cuban style sandwich crepe, with all the good stuff, pulled pork, ham, pickles, Dijon. .. so bomb…

  6. Those look good.. little pancakes.. NOW PUTTING MY ORDER FOR ALBONDIGAS CHEF . Mexican Meatball dish

  7. hey Andy real galettes (salty crepes) from Bretagne or Normandie (origin is debated) are usually made with a buckwheat flour. Just plain buckwheat flour , water and salt. Only the sweet version is made with wheat flour , eggs and beer / rum / grand marnier depending on the region and family recipe. My personal favorite for a galette is Andouillette moutarde enjoyed with brut cider in ceramic bowl on the side! Hope you can try it one day !

  8. Hey Andy! In case you haven't (but you probably did), try with buckwheat floor. That's how we do savoury crepes in France, also called "galette bretonne". Serve that with a nice dry cider and you're in for a treat!

  9. It’s not a real galettes if it’s made with ordinary flour. It’s just a Crepe with savoury topping. There is a big difference!
