French Acadian Pancakes Ployes

Yield: makes 9 pancakes

Time: 12 hours, 30 minutes

For the Preferment

1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1⁄3 cups silverskin buckwheat flour (buy it at ployes.com

1 2⁄3 cups water

1⁄4 tsp. active dry yeast

For the Pancakes

1 tbsp. kosher salt

6-8 tbsp. cold water

Canola oil, for greasing

Instructions

Make the preferment: In a medium nonreactive bowl, combine the flours and yeast with 1 2⁄3 cups water. Rest, covered, at room temperature for 12 hours before using.

The next day, the preferment should be bubbly, smell pleasantly fermented, and have nearly doubled in size. Add the salt and 6 to 8 tablespoons water to form a thin batter.

Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high. Lightly grease the pan and, working in batches, pour about 1⁄4 cup batter into skillet, tilting skillet to let batter cover bottom completely. Cook until ploye begins to form small bubbles on the top and lightly pulls away from the edges of the pan, 1–2 minutes. Flip and cook 1 minute more; transfer to a plate. Continue cooking ployes until all the batter is gone.
