Steps:
- Mix together the buckwheat flour, white flour, baking powder and salt with 3/4 cup/175 ml cold water to make a paste. Add the boiling water and mix until smooth and runny. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes.
- Heat a cast-iron griddle. Without adding any fat, ladle the mixture onto the griddle and let it run into small pancakes. Watch bubbles form all over the cakes and wait until the top of the cakes are completely dry. (Do not flip the ployes until they are completely cooked.) Once they look dry, flip them and just "kiss" the pan with the other side.
- Keep the cooked ployes warm in a warm oven while you fry the rest.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your ployes.
- Make sure your dough is well-chilled before rolling it out. This will help to prevent it from sticking to your hands or the rolling pin.
- Roll your dough out thinly. This will help to create crispy ployes.
- Fry your ployes in hot oil. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
- Drain your ployes on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove any excess oil.
Conclusion:
Ployes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them simple or topped with your favorite ingredients, ployes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
