INGREDIENTS (4 PIECES):
75 grams buckwheat flour 25 grams cake flour 3 grams salt
300 ml water

DIRECTIONS:
1.
2. Mix cake flour, buckwheat flour and salt in a bowl. Add water and whisk. Add honey and melted butter. Stir well. Let batter chill for about 30 minutes, then stir again.
Melt butter in a saucepan. 4. Season a pan with ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil, reduce heat to low and wipe excess oil off with a paper towel. Pour ¼ of the batter, covering the bottom of the pan. Spread ¼ of the egg whites over the batter when it begins to bubble. 5. Arrange three salmon slices in a triangle in the center of the galette, and place 1 egg yolk in the center. Sprinkle a dash of salt over the yolk and salmon.
6. Cut cheese into 10-gram pieces and place three pieces atop the salmon. Top with capers and crushed peanuts. When the galette’s edges slightly curl up, fold them inward, forming a square shape.
7. Cover the pan and cook for about 1½ minutes. Garnish with rocket leaves.
e buckwheat our’s rich aroma makes the dish appetizing. While the pastry’s aky exterior has a crispy texture, there’s also a so ness to it. e tanginess of the capers and the cheese’s savory avor would certainly pair well with a Breton cider.
