Ploye

Ingredients

• 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

Directions

1. 1

   Mix dry ingredients.

2. 2

   Add 2 cups cold water to the dry ingredients and mix well.

3. 3

   Let stand 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add 1 cup boiling water and mix vigorously.

5. 5

   If batter looks too thick, add a little bit of cold water.

6. 6

   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.

7. 7

   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.

8. 8

   To really have good Ployes you have to mix your batter between each ploye.
