• 1¾ cups/225 g buckwheat flour
• 1¾ cups/225 g unbleached white flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups/500 ml. milk, more if needed

Using a palette knife or pastry scraper, spread it with a turn of your wrist so the griddle is thinly and completely covered, tipping the griddle to discard excess batter into a bowl. Cook the galette quickly until lightly browned on the bottom, 30 to 60 seconds. Peel the galette off the griddle and flip it to color the other side. Note that a galette should not be
