galettes

Savory crepe cousins

Galettes are flat, round cakes or pastries, typically from French cuisine.

The term covers several preparations: a rustic free-form tart with folded edges a fruit galette with peaches, a crisp buckwheat crêpe filled with savory ingredients a galette with ham and cheese, or a dense butter cookie.

The word simply means flat cake in French.
