Ployes

I love pancakes in the morning, but it's typically not my best time of day. The most idiot-proof pancakes I can make are Ployes, a mix from as far north in Maine as you can get: Fort Kent. The Bouchard family have come up with blend that has nothing but buckwheat flour, wheat flour (they have a whole wheat version as well), aluminum-free baking powder & salt. It's based on a recipe created by the French Acadian exiles who settled in Northern Maine.

All you need is 1 cup of mix, 1 1/3 cups of water and a wicked hot heavy frying pan or griddle - no oil needed.

They taste better than any scratch pancake I could make.
