Sweet Pan Bread

Mother made these for us as children.

She whipped together water, flour and sugar then cooked the batter in a skillet like you would pancakes. Then buttered them and topped with jam and sometimes even confectioners sugar.

They resemble crepes but they're more dense and a bit chewy in texture.

This version I used milk instead of water and added vanilla extract.
