No, not at all. They're a classic comfort food, usually made quite thin, but not thin enough to be called crepes, and I'd wager most people don't learn through a recipe, but, similar to you, it's some of the first things you're taught to make.
There's also another classic, this time leavened - the oven-baked pancake, which is a little closer to the American pan-fried, but with pieces of salted pork, served with lingon berry jam.
Eggs, milk, flour, baking powder (ratio to taste), salted pork; bake in a tall container at 180-220C (again, to your preferred crispiness and colour). In the end, you should have something almost akin to a pudding, Fluffiness depends on baking powder, of course, and temperature.
