Galette (from the Norman word gale, meaning 'flat cake') is a term used in French cuisine to designate various types of flat round or freeform crusty cakes, or, in the case of a Breton galette ( ; ), a pancake made with buckwheat flour, usually with a savoury filling.
Of the cake type known as galette, one notable variety is the galette des rois (king cake) eaten on the day of Epiphany. In French Canada the term galette is usually applied to pastries best described as large cookies.
