About


My dad's dad brought this when he emigrated from Norway in the early part of the 20th century. When I was growing up I didn't know it was a "crepe". My grandfather travelled from Ellis Island to Washington state and worked as a cook in logging camps. I've also heard he made delicious bread; he died before I was born, but this recipe lived on. The "sour milk" mentioned in the recipe would be equivalent to the thin, non-fat or low-fat buttermilk available today.
