Fine, golden, and crispy, the Breton galette is one of the most beloved cookies in France. Its secret lies in one ingredient: a good Breton semi-salted butter, which gives it that unique taste and that unmistakable melt-in-your-mouth yet crunchy texture.
With only five ingredients and a fork twist for the famous crisscross pattern, this recipe takes you straight to a biscuit shop in Pont-Aven. Perfect with coffee, alongside a cream, or crumbled as a cheesecake base, these galettes keep for two weeks in a metal tin—if you can manage to keep them that long.
