Galettes primarily consist of buckwheat flour, water, and salt, making them naturally gluten-free and rich in nutrients. Cr\u00eapes, however, include wheat flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and butter, offering a smoother texture and sweeter flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, both cr\u00eapes and galettes are cooked on a circular cast iron plate called a &#8220;bilig,&#8221; using a wooden spatula known as a &#8220;rozell&#8221; to spread the batter evenly.<\/p>\n<h2>Cultural significance in Brittany<\/h2>\n<p>Cr\u00eapes and galettes are deeply embedded in Breton culture. Celebrated on &#8220;La Chandeleur&#8221; (Candlemas), February 2nd, families traditionally prepare cr\u00eapes at home, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. Breton folklore also suggests holding a coin in one&#8217;s hand while flipping the cr\u00eape for luck and prosperity.<\/p>\n<h2>Expansion and global popularity<\/h2>\n<p>Breton cr\u00eapes and galettes have gained global popularity, transcending French borders.
