My second batch of ployes (Acadian buckwheat pancakes) came out better. I used a nonstick pan with a thicker bottom, which might have helped me managed the temperature. I didn't thin the batter as much this time, and I made each pancake larger.
I prefer a savory ploye to treating it like a breakfast pancake, so even though it's morning, I'm enjoying my ployes with hummus. The buckwheat cake is not unlike a soft pita or that Ethiopian bread served to scoop from the communal platter, so it works.
