Recipe by Sandra Corriveau
A “ploye”, made with buckwheat flour, is part of history and tradition for the Madawaska Valley and surrounding area. The ploye had a place of honour at the table of large families and would often replace the bread. A real ploye is not turned while cooking. It can be eaten with butter, molasses, sugar and maple syrup.
