The ¨PLOYE¨ |
A ¨ploye¨, made with buckweat flour, is part of history and tradition for the Madawaska Valley and surrounding area. The ¨ploye¨ had a place of honour at the table for numerous families and would often replace the bread. A real ¨ploye¨ is not turned while cooking; it can be eaten with butter, molasses, sugar and maple syrup.
Ploye recipe:
1 cup of white flour
2 cups of buckwheat flour from Madawaska
2 cups of cold water
1tsp. of fine salt
Mix it all and add 2 cups of boiling water, and 2 tsp. of baking powder. Cook in a hot pan on one side only.
