UMEBEAM Bouchard Family Farms Ployes Buckwheat Flatbread Mix — 2.5 lb Bag, Heritage Buckwheat, Ready-to-Mix

UMEBEAM Bouchard Family Farms Ployes is a ready-to-mix buckwheat flatbread mix that makes traditional French-Acadian ployes quickly and with consistent results.

Made from heritage buckwheat and a simple ingredient list, this 2.5-pound bag recreates the soft, lacy flatbreads known as ployes — a regional staple in New England and the Canadian Maritimes. The mix comes from Bouchard Family Farms and is packaged in a large bag ideal for families, gatherings, or regular use in breakfast, brunch, or as an accompaniment to savory dishes.

What exactly are ployes and how does this mix reproduce them?

Ployes are thin, buckwheat-based pancakes or flatbreads with a slightly spongy, lacy texture. This mix combines buckwheat flour with complementary dry ingredients calibrated to produce the distinct holes and light texture when cooked on a griddle.

• Heritage buckwheat flavor as the base for authentic taste
• Predosed quantities for consistent batter texture each batch
• Designed for griddle cooking to achieve traditional lacy surface
• Large 2.5 lb bag supplies multiple meals or large gatherings

How do I prepare ployes from this mix for best results?

Preparation is straightforward: whisk the mix with water (or a milk alternative) to a pourable batter, let it rest briefly, then cook on a hot, lightly greased griddle until holes form and edges set. Flip if desired, though many cooks serve them cooked on one side only.

• Typical ratio: mix plus cold water to a thin batter consistency
• Rest batter 5–10 minutes to hydrate buckwheat fully
• Cook on medium-high griddle until lacy holes appear
• Serve hot with butter, syrup, savory toppings, or spreads

What can I serve with ployes and how versatile are they?

Ployes are highly versatile: they pair well with sweet toppings like maple syrup and fruit, savory accompaniments like smoked meats and cheeses, or can be used as a flatbread wrap. Their mild buckwheat flavor complements both sweet and savory profiles.

• Sweet: maple syrup, jam, honey, fresh berries
• Savory: smoked salmon, cream cheese, pâté, fried eggs
• As a base: stack like pancakes or use as wraps for sandwiches
• Suitable for breakfast, appetizer, or light dinner menus

How much mix is in the bag and who should buy the large size?

The package contains 2.5 pounds of mix, making it a practical choice for households that enjoy frequent breakfasts, small food-service operations, or anyone entertaining guests. The larger bag reduces the need for frequent repurchasing and delivers better value per serving.

• 2.5 lb yields multiple servings for families or gatherings
• Economical for regular use compared with smaller retail sizes
• Store in a cool, dry place and reseal to maintain freshness
• Great for home cooks, B&Bs, and small cafés exploring regional cuisine
