Mix the buckwheat flour, egg, salt and 150 ml water by hand in a big bowl. Cover bowl with cling wrap and place in the fridge for 24 hours.

After 24 hours add another 150 ml of water and mix it all.

Heat a large frypan for 3 minutes with a little bit of oil. Add around 120 ml of the mixture in the pan and play with the pan to spread mixture everywhere.

Add spinach and béchamel and let everything cook for 2 minutes. Fold in the sides of the crêpe to make a square and place the galette on a plate.
