Crêpes
From Peggy: She reports that Martha whips these up in a few minutes and is always very popular on Saturday mornings! (I wasn’t sure if she meant Martha or the crêpes were popular!)
Before I went back to work, I participated in many neighborhood Bible studies. I got this recipe from an end-of-year brunch at a study in Verona. My copy is getting pretty dog-eared!
This is a hot dish, served with slices of French bread or crostini.

Many memories of these delicious, flaky biscuits topped with strawberries, or maple syrup, or butter with a mug of steaming cocoa alongside for a light Sunday night supper. This recipe originally came from Grandma Woods (Percy’s mother). Makes about 14 biscuits.
As in any good Vermonter’s home, pancakes were a staple, topped of course only with genuine Vermont Maple Syrup – the good stuff, not any of those Flatlander substitutes! (Although I do remember Mother making ersatz syrup out of brown sugar in some lean times.) This recipe originally came from Grandma White (Alice’s mother).
I asked Melissa if she had any recipes to contribute from her new mother-in-law, Susan Martin (who’s from Tennessee, originally). Susan replied, “Am I allowed? I’m not Woods by either birth or marriage.” So what – good to have something new! Jay loves this!
