I found this beauty buried at the bottom of a stack of Teflon pans in a thrift store. I almost passed by, thinking it was a new coated piece, but my eyes popped out of my head when I saw GRISWOLD on the bottom!!
Anyone know what "Plett" means? Any good Swedish Pancake Plett pan recopies?

I got the same one at a thrift store. Could not pass it up for $2. I use regular pancake mix and make silver dollars with it. I am also interested in a proper recipe.
 
CJMunnich, 2$ was a great deal!! I paid 12$, and am happy with that!
I did a quick internet search and came up with a bunch of different recipes. this one is from the Griswold & Cast Iron Cookware Association. I'll try cutting this recipe in half and see how it comes out.

Swedish Pancakes (use Plett Pan)
6 eggs
1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 quart milk
Beat eggs until fluffy; mix flour, salt and milk together thoroughly. Blend with eggs. Butter plett pan well, bake cakes until golden brown. Makes 42 pancakes.

CJMunnich,
Looking at the recipe, seams like a lot of milk. maybe check out some other recipes on line?
 
Just picked up an unmarked Plett pan. Here is a recipe:

Tillander Swedish Pancakes (Plattar)
Ingredients
4 Eggs
2 Cups of Milk
1 Cup of Flour
1/2 Cup of Sugar
Pinch of Salt
Butter
Directions
In a medium size mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and pinch of salt, mixing thoroughly. Mix in eggs. Slowly pour in milk while stirring constantly to eliminate flour clumping. Once thoroughly blended and smooth, set aside.

Heat the plett pan to the low side of medium heat. Once heated, use a stick of butter to swipe the inside of each plattar depression. Starting in the center and moving in a consistent direction throughout the process, pour the batter mixture into each depression. (Using a small gravy ladle or a tablespoon works best.) Use enough batter to cover the bottom of the depression, but you don't need to fill the entire depth. (Doing so will make it difficult to cook thoroughly without burning one side.) Once bubbles start to stabilize on the top of each pancake, use a butter knife to flip each, following the same pattern you used to pour them. This usually takes about 2 minutes, depending on your pan, burner, and amount of batter poured. After about 45-60 seconds, use the knife to transfer the pancakes, again in the same order, to a serving plate and serve immediately.

Repeat the process, starting with the butter, until you've fed the troops. You'll want to periodically stir the batter throughout the cooking process to keep it from settling in between batches.

Great with real maple syrup and butter, even better with lingonberries, powdered sugar, and butter.

Serving Size: Makes 8-10 batches of 7 small pancakes
