Strawberry galettes made with cottage cheese dough
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. The word "galette" translates from French as a dry flat cake. They were originally prepared for sea expeditions and journeys. But add a berry or fruit filling to this cake – and you'll get a delicious dessert. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
