Ployes Stacker

We tried this for a late breakfast this morning. It's really good and could also be used for a dessert. You might consider substituting other fruit, like apples or strawberries. If so, let us know how it goes!

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Bake Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 2 to 4

1 cup Ployes (buckwheat flour mix)
1 1/3 cups water
2 cups blueberries (frozen are okay - no sugar!)
1/2 cup 100% pure maple syrup
1/2 brick cream cheese

1) Heat pancake griddle to at least 400 F (medium high - high), ungreased. Also heat oven to 350 F. Mix Ployes and water together in mixing bowl with fork or wire whisk until all chunks are gone. Spoon 1/4 mix onto griddle and spread it around in a circle to make a flat, almost crepe-like, pancake-like disk. The ployes are done without flipping them, when they are golden brown and dry. Repeat until all mix is used, stacking the ployes on a plate.

2) Cook blueberries in maple syrup over low heat until hot, not boiling, for about ten minutes. (It is a good idea to do this while waiting for ployes to cook.)

3) Place one crepe on the bottom of a small, ungreased oval baker (stone) or small casserole dish. Spread cream cheese in a thin layer over the crepe. Pour a small amount of cooked blueberries over the cream cheese. (This will be liquidy; that's good.) Repeat this process in layers until you place the final crepe on top, without cream cheese or blueberries. (You will need to budget your blueberries without needing anything on top of the top crepe.)

4) Bake the stack for ten minutes. Serve warm.
