Ployes (Acadian Buckwheat Pancakes)

Ingredients

• •1 1/2 cups buckwheat flour
• •1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• •2 tsp baking powder
• •1 tsp salt
• •2 1/4 cups warm water
• •1 tbsp, for the pan vegetable oil

Directions

1. 1Whisk buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
2. 2Pour in warm water gradually, whisking until the batter is smooth, thin, and pourable.
3. 3Let the batter rest for 15 minutes so the flours hydrate and small bubbles begin to form.
4. 4Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat and pour in enough batter for a thin 7-inch round.
5. 5Cook without flipping until the surface is dry and covered with small holes, about 2 minutes.
6. 6Stack the ployes under a clean towel and repeat with the remaining batter.

💡 Do not flip ployes; the pale, porous top and browned underside are part of their characteristic texture.
