I’m sorry but this is not an authentic ploye recipe. And you never “flip” a ploye. You only cook it on one side. Classic condiments are: butter, cretons, brown sugar or molasses. That’s it 😊

I'm sure you're the kind of cook that uses plastic pellets to make bread. This recipe is total nonsense. First, buy the right kind of buckwheat flour, the recipe will be on the bag. You can safely use that recipe.

This is not how you traditionally make ployes, every Brayon will tell you that much. You don’t use rice flour for the mix and you don’t flip.

I am a Brayonne. A french canadian who makes and knows Ploye. That is NOT a ploye. 1. there is no rice flour in a Ploye. 2. You never flip a ploye. It cooks on one side. It is ready when the batter is cooked when it yellow with nice eyes. 3. No one eats a ploye with lemon. You eat it ROLLED UP, with your hands and spread with butter, creton, molasses, maple/brown sugar or
maple syrup.

Thank you for your feedback and I am very sorry to hear that... It is strange, because the dough doesn´t stay gummy at all. Maybe it´s because I forgot to put the original recipe note: "The ploye resembles a crepe in thickness when cooking and, contrary to a pancake, is only cooked on one side and briefly turned over for a few seconds."

The content of that link isn’t accurate. A Ploye is thinner than a pancake. It must NOT be turned over. Also, the rice flour probably throw off the mix, for a real Ploye it should be part of wheat flour, not rice flour. You can buy pre-blended Ploye mix online, all there is left to do is add water, whisk like there is no tomorrow and cook on a hot cast iron pan.

Hmm did not turn out at all. Was very gummy in center no matter how long it cooked.
See what other Food52ers are saying.
