Cinnamon splash!

Steps

for the dough

• Whisk in a bowl with a whisk or a teaspoon:
  • the flour
  • the sugar
  • the water
• You need to whisk well in order to obtain a fine dough without lumps as in a crêpes dough

for baking

• Heat up a nonstick pan
• Add the olive oil or the butter
• Pour the dough and try to form a disk that is not very thick, almost like a crêpe
• Bake for 2’-3’ and return the dough at half times

to bring everything together

• Place the cooked dough into a plate
• Spread diagonally the dried raisins
• Spread the crashed walnuts on top of the raisins
• Pour the liquid honey on top all over the garnish or just sprinkle some sugar
• Sprinkle with cinnamon
• Dégustez en pliant la galette comme une crêpe ! Trop bon !

option #1 – for garnishing

• Once you have placed the dried raisins and the walnuts, spread all over the apple diced in small cubes
• Finish-up garnishing with cinnamon and enjoy! Very good also :)

What’s the story behind this dessert?

This dessert is called in Greek tiganites or τηγανίτες and usually the dough contains whist and is baked into a lot of olive oil; they are the Greek pancakes. I prefer this light version that resembles a lot in texture to French crêpes but they don’t have either egg or milk. So it’s 100% vegan dish dessert if you use olive oil to bake the dough. Of course, I bake them using just a little bit of fat and I garnish them with dried raisins, apple, honey (or sugar or even coconut syrup) and I sprinkle them generously with cinnamon and that’s where the name of the dessert comes from. You need to taste it as crepes with a filling!

It’s a cute dessert that I often eat at breakfast, especially when I don’t have croissants :-) It’s very simple and very good! Try it and tell me all about it :-) 

(*) if your honey becomes a bit hard, you just need to heat it up for a little bit as to make it liquid again
