It also look like you could use a tiny bit more batter for each pancake. <br /><br />In Norway we make pancakes like this all the time - thin (but the batter is sans sugar), and they are traditionally served with blueberry jam. Nobody makes thick american pancakes.Delirium~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17470271505279138111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5189822412273106888.post-39096007288808458482010-09-06T07:29:25.494-04:002010-09-06T07:29:25.494-04:00My kids would have loved the mini one!

As for the "bland-ness"... I compared Melissa's recipe to my standby crêpe recipe and noticed that mine had vanilla in it so I added it. I also used a bit more salt than Melissa's (a big pinch for 1/4 recipe).Hanaâhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660317268731033542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5189822412273106888.post-63345104200221605202010-09-05T21:34:36.073-04:002010-09-05T21:34:36.073-04:00every time i make crepes, it always takes a bit of...every time i make crepes, it always takes a bit of practice to get it right. i think it also depends on the temp of your skillet. your mini crepe is adorable! thanks for joining me this week! :)Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194510368311330032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5189822412273106888.post-85747147498641387512010-09-05T18:20:00.198-04:002010-09-05T18:20:00.198-04:00Crepes do take practice, I was swirling away mysel...Crepes do take practice, I was swirling away myself.

It looks great and if you did not have the butter there, it would have looked normal but it would not have been so much fun to admire. <br /><br />I solved the swirling problem, another way. I took a smaller pan and made them. That way, swirling was easy. They were plenty big enough and they filled nicely.Chats the Comfy Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10008058551840309390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5189822412273106888.post-58434778601759382952010-09-05T13:03:02.426-04:002010-09-05T13:03:02.426-04:00these look great, i love the little one's edge...these look great, i love the little one's edges - too cute. i will add vanilla next time, too for some extra flavor.<br />-nikki<br />www.makeandtakeblog.comNikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551038294943038570noreply@blogger.com
