For anyone who isn\u2019t, it\u2019s a French-Acadian food, made of buckwheat flour. They\u2019re often compared to a pancake or a crepe, though they\u2019re a bit different from both of them. For many french families in Maine, they\u2019re a staple. I grew up in Penobscot country, but my dad grew up with Canada just across the river.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Growing up, my dad used to make ployes all the time. They\u2019re an extremely versatile food. Ployes can (and are) eaten for every meal. They can be paired with anything that you like. In my family, we often had them for breakfast, with butter as the only topping, or along with sausage rolled up in the ploye. We also commonly had them as a side dish for chicken stew, which is a perfect combo on cold Winter nights. Ployes can also be eaten with fruits on top, or as my dad does, with creton, which is a pork spread. (I\u2019ve linked a recipe <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipe\/33629\/cretons\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, though I didn\u2019t make any in my video). Maple syrup is also a good combo, and if you\u2019re interested in maple syrup, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dunnfamilymaple.com\/maine-maple-sunday-weekend#:~:text=We%20are%20open%20Saturday%20and,%2C%202021%20from%209%2D4.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maine Maple Sunday<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> comes about every spring!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When making ployes, you have two options. One is a ploye mix, in which you only have to add water. The other way is from scratch, which only requires a few more ingredients! I\u2019ll include recipes for both! Regardless of how you make it, they\u2019ll be delicious!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more help making the recipe, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1A_Hd0ZyrdTNvfVsQxPWbo844rN3KlQjT\/view?usp=sharing\">video<\/a> I made!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ingredients: (Makes around 10 ployes, depending on the size)<\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 cups buckwheat flour<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1\/3 cup white flour<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1.5 teaspoons baking powder<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00bd\u00a0 teaspoon salt<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 cups cold water<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1\/2 cup hot water<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the mix:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 cup ploye mix<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 cup cold water<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00bd cup hot water<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1A_Hd0ZyrdTNvfVsQxPWbo844rN3KlQjT\/view?usp=sharing\">Click Here<\/a> for a video on how to make ployes step by step!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Instructions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mix all the ingredients together<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Add the cold water and mix it until combined<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then add the hot water and mix, until the batter has no lumps, and is fairly thin. You want a batter that isn\u2019t quite as thick as pancake batter, but not like water.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once the batter is ready, you can put some on whatever you\u2019re cooking it on. This can be a cast-iron skillet, a pan, or a griddle, whatever works best. I usually put about a \u00bc of batter on the pan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you see the ploye \u2018bubbling\u2019 and creating little holes, then you\u2019re doing it right! The ploye should be pretty thin, not at all the thickness of a pancake. In my research on different recipes, most say to wait until the top is dry and don\u2019t flip it, but my dad always used to flip it, so there\u2019s no harm in either approach.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep making the ployes until they are all done, mixing the batter before making a new one. To keep them hot, put them on a plate with a dishtowel over the completed ones.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you\u2019re all done, top them with whatever you would like, berries, maple syrup, butter, sausage, creton, or something else!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">-Aubrey Duplissie<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ployes If you\u2019re from Northern Maine, you know what a ploye is.
