Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 75 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 50 grams Greek yogurt, non-fat
- 75 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 1 from a large egg Egg yolk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
Beat in the egg and egg yolk, ensuring the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just blended. Do not over-mix.
Transfer the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a flat disk. Wrap it tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out cookies using a round cookie cutter (about 2-3 inches in diameter) or any shape of choice.
Place the cut-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the galettes to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low-fat Biscuit Galettes Bretonnes with a cup of tea or coffee!
