Easy to do, right?
Serve the patties warm or hot with a salad or as an accompaniment to meat.
Vary the ingredients of your galettes according to your desires with seasonal vegetables.
And, if you want more complete cakes , decorate them with bacon or ham matches .
You can also incorporate aromatic herbs into the preparation of these to diversify the flavors.
And why not have fun making pancakes of different sizes?
Smaller ones for children (which they can swallow in one bite!), and bigger ones for gourmet adults!
