Peterson Family Looking Forward to 2013

Peterson Family Looking Forward to 2013
In moments when the light of resolution dims and when the heart grows faint, we can take comfort from His promise: “Be not weary in well-doing. Out of small things proceedeth that which is great. Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind." Matt. 6:19–21

More MEP Holiday Family Traditions

Every year for 31 years the MEP family would wake up on Christmas morning open gifts and look forward to making Grandma Nora's Swedish pancakes for breakfast. Grandma Nora was not known for her good cooking, but we love this recipe. Nora would spend every Christmas morning with us since her move to Arizona in 1993. When she couldn't drive any more we would pick her up and bring her to us. She was always so proud that we used her recipe and loved to be involved in making this annual breakfast. My married girls carry on this MEP family tradition.

Grandma Nora’s Swedish Pancakes
(Crepes)

¾ Cup Flour
1 Tb Sugar
½ tsp Salt
3 Beaten Eggs
1 ¼ Cups Milk
2 Tb Oil (or melted butter)

Combine all in a blender until smooth. Melt a pat
of butter in a non-stick frying pan on med-high, pour
a small amount of batter into pan to make a
thin round crepe. Cook until edges are
lightly browned then flip with a spatula. You can use a crepe
pan, be sure it is a good one. Serve rolled with your choice
of filling, powdered sugar, preserves, bacon, sausage,
cinnamon sugar - whatever you prefer. This recipe makes
approximately 10 crepes. This recipe also works
when doubled or tripled. You can make these the night
before and put a sheet of wax paper between the cooked
crepes and refrigerate. Just re-heat crepes as needed.

Look at your fancy blog! So cute!

Thanks for the background on this recipe--my mom gave it to me, but I didn't know it was Grandma Nora's or a Christmas tradition. Thanks!
