Nice, thanks! Have never heard of these before now. What’s your favorite way to eat them?

They are amazingly versatile. Add syrup or other sweet things for a pancake-ish experience, or eat them alongside savory things sort of like injera bread. You can put on butter, jam, gravy, really anything.

Spread some butter on the warm ployes, sprinkle some brown sugar on top, and then dip them in some maple syrup

Eat them like bread during a meal. My grandmother liked to spread mustard or creton (pork spread sort of like head cheese…Hannafords sells it in the deli).

Ployes are so versatile 😍 I grew up eating them with applesauce & sour cream. You can spread the batter super thin onto a flat pan to make easy crepes.

up here, a diner outside madawaska, Dollys, serves them with everything. I guess the "signature dish" would be the chicken stew n ployes. Dont expect a traditional pancake- they're made with buckwheat.. and dont let the greenish (?) tinge to them throw ya.

Follow up: made ployes this morning. Drizzled them with a little maple syrup. So good! Thanks for the recommendation!

Glad you liked them :) they have aged very well as a foodstuff, and I'm surprised they aren't more popular with their simplicity and price.
