La Parisienne

A galette for people in a hurry. Fold the corners square: they notice.

Tante Maëlle's note

How to make it

  1. Pour buckwheat batter and spread it thin.
  2. Cook it crisp and brown on both sides, unless the guest asks otherwise (that is how the notebook recommends it).
  3. Place the ham: usually 2 pieces.
  4. Sprinkle the Emmental.
  5. Fold it: Envelope. Four edges swiped toward the centre: a square galette.

Price and cost

It sells for 7,00 €. At the usual helpings it costs about 1,70 € to make (0,40 € of batter and 1,30 € of fillings), before any discount and less for home-grown fillings. Mastery stamps and the market's charm cards raise the price; see mastery.

The notebook page

The page is missing at first. It turns up the first time you serve this crêpe well. Until then the stub reads:

The first of the buckwheat pages. It comes back with ham and Emmental on the dark flour.

It belongs to the set Les Galettes, worth 3 pearls once every crêpe in it has been served really well.

What you need

Guests only order it once the shop has buckwheat flour (45,00 €), Ham (80,00 € at the market) and Emmental (65,00 € at the market).
