Time 20m

Yield 15 ployes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup/125 g buckwheat flour
1/2 cup/60 g white flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups/425 ml boiling water

Steps:

  • Mix together the buckwheat flour, white flour, baking powder and salt with 3/4 cup/175 ml cold water to make a paste. Add the boiling water and mix until smooth and runny. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes.
  • Heat a cast-iron griddle. Without adding any fat, ladle the mixture onto the griddle and let it run into small pancakes. Watch bubbles form all over the cakes and wait until the top of the cakes are completely dry. (Do not flip the ployes until they are completely cooked.) Once they look dry, flip them and just "kiss" the pan with the other side.
  • Keep the cooked ployes warm in a warm oven while you fry the rest.

BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

I decided to make buckwheat pancakes for a few reasons: I get lots of requests for anything breakfast, I'm trying to cook with more whole grains, and I heard someone say it's almost impossible to make a great pancake using 100% buckwheat flour.

PLOYE



Ploye image

This occupies a place of choice in our community. The Ploye looks like a pancake but is prepared with buckweat flour. It is used in place of bread. If you come from Northern New Brunswick and you are a BRAYON, it is a common thing to eat and is delicious. I posted it here so I would'nt loose it. After they are cooked, we spread butter on, roll them up and eat them that way. Some people like to finish a meal with one of these ploye drizzled with molasses as a dessert.

Time 30m

Yield 20 ployes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups buckwheat flour (farine de sarrasin in French)
1 cup white flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups cold water
1 cup boiling water

Steps:

  • Mix dry ingredients.
  • Add 2 cups cold water to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Let stand 5 minutes.
  • Add 1 cup boiling water and mix vigorously.
  • If batter looks too thick, add a little bit of cold water.
  • Pour batter as you would a pancake in cast iron skillet (the best) or I have used a breakfast plate to cook mine (you can make more than one at a time) and they came out very good. Let the ploye cook, you will see little holes come up everywhere, the more holes, the better your ploye is.
  • When you see that the mixture is not liquid anymore, your ploye is ready. Only cook on one side, a ploye is NOT to be turned to cook.
  • To really have good Ployes you have to mix your batter between each ploye.
