These galettes are perfect as an hors d'oeuvre as they are slightly sweet, thanks to the caramelized onions and roasted figs, but the batter lends them a hearty note. The contrast between the crispy batter and the soft filling results in a delicious dish. Galettes are best enjoyed still hot from the oven.

How it's done

Batter mixture

Mix the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the margarine and rub together by hand to form an even, crumbly mixture. Pour in the water and mix quickly to form a smooth dough – do not knead, press flat. Cover and chill the remainder of the dough.

Filling

Heat the oil and margarine in a wide pan. Sauté the onions for approx. 10 mins. until soft and translucent. Add the sugar, salt and thyme and mix together. Flatten the onions a little. Simmer over a low heat for approx. 10 mins. Mix the onions and flatten again a little. Cover and steam for approx. 30 mins., stirring occasionally, until golden-brown. Keep flattening the onions. Add the balsamico, mix, allow to cool slightly.

Shape the buns

Divide the dough into quarters, roll into rounds approx. 3 mm thick. Spread the onions on top of the dough, leaving a border all the way around. Place the figs on top, fold the edge of the dough over. Place the galettes on a baking tray lined with baking paper and chill for approx. 15 mins. Brush the edges of the dough with almond milk.

Bake

Approx. 20 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 180°C.
