STUntil moving to Maine, I’d never encountered ployes – traditional French Acadian buckwheat flatbreads that bridge the gap between crepes and pancakes. They are a tasty vehicle for whatever you’d like to smear on top whether sweet or savory. The recipe couldn’t be simpler: just water, baking powder, salt, all-purpose flour, and buckwheat flour, cooked in a dry skillet. Unlike regular pancakes, ployes only cook on one side, eliminating the need for flipping. The surface develops distinctive bubbles that create a lacy, honeycomb pattern - all my trypophobes look away! I was surprised byt the greenish tint to my batter, but learned @bouchardfamilyfarm’s silver-skinned (or common) buckwheat, grown in northern Maine, naturally produces this color. While I enjoyed mine simply with butter, I’m eager to try them with cretons, a traditional French-Canadian pork spread seasoned with onions and spices. #ployes #mainefood #acadiancuisine #buckwheatflour #traditionalmaine #frenchcanadian #maineeats #bouchardfarmbuckwheat
