Swiss Chard Pancakes

Made these for dinner tonight looking for a way to use up some Swiss chard; frankly, I think I would have been better off steaming or sauteeing it.  These were kind of heavy and tasteless.  That sounds harsher than I'd like it to, I guess; it's not that they were terrible.  But I don't think I'd make them specifically again, although I have some in the freezer and I guess I'll see how I feel about them upon reheating.

General pancake notes: adjust the heat carefully.  On our stove at Idyllwild, medium is really plenty high.  Spread out the batter so they're thinner, it's much better that way.  Topped with sour cream, these were a perfectly passable meal.
