French Canadian
Buckwheat Ployes

A traditional Acadian/Breton recipe.
Eaten wrapped around sweet or savory
foods or as a bread with meals.

Ingredients:
2 cups buckwheat flour
1 cup white flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups cold water
1 cup boiling water

Directions:
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 skillet.
Let the ploye cook, you will see little holes come up everywhere,
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.
