Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt, then add the lukewarm water until you get a soft dough. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
  2. Mix the crushed walnuts, icing sugar, cinnamon and soft butter to get an even filling.
  3. Divide the dough into balls and roll each one out into a very thin disc with a rolling pin.
  4. Spread a layer of filling over one disc, fold it into a half-moon and seal the edges.
  5. Cook the galettes in a pan over medium-low heat, 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden.
  6. Drizzle with warmed honey just before serving.

Variations and tips

Almond version. Replace the walnuts with almonds for a milder flavour.
