La Bolée des Korrigans Buckwheat Crêpes
What it is
La Bolée des Korrigans offers pre-made buckwheat crêpes, also known as galettes, crafted from a blend of buckwheat flour and water. These crêpes are a traditional staple, particularly in Brittany, France. They are typically thin and have a slightly rustic texture due to the buckwheat flour. This product provides a convenient way to enjoy authentic Breton galettes without the need for scratch preparation.
How people cook with it
These buckwheat crêpes are a versatile base for a variety of savory and sweet fillings. They are a popular choice for quick meals and snacks.
- Filled with ham and cheese
- Topped with a fried egg
- Rolled with smoked salmon

To prepare, gently separate the crêpes from the packaging. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one crêpe in the warm pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden and heated through. You can add a small amount of butter or oil to the pan if desired, though it is often unnecessary. Once heated, they are ready to be filled and folded or rolled.
