What does PLOYE mean in Scrabble?
noun
North Americanregional
A thin pancake made from buckwheat flour, traditional to Acadian cooking.
A ploye is cooked on one side only, so bubbles rise through the batter and leave a pitted top instead of the surface being flipped like an ordinary pancake. The dish belongs to the Acadian communities of New Brunswick and nearby Quebec, where buckwheat grew well in a short season. It is usually served folded or rolled around butter, molasses, or a savoury filling rather than eaten flat, and the name comes from Acadian French rather than from standard English.
