Same word is used for both terms. My only question is where the pun
originated.

Of the same genera, at least. The recipie I was looking at goes:

=====================================================================
Gudruns blodplättar

(4-6 servings)

150 ml rolled oats
150 ml milk
0.5 l blood
250 ml flour (white wheat or a sifted wheat/rye mix)
2 T beet syrup
1 t salt
2/3 t allspice
1 t majoram
butter or margarine

Mix the oats and the milk in a bowl. Stir in the blood and flour, adjust
flavour with the syrup. salt and spices. Allow to swell for 30
minutes.

Heat a skillet (or the special "plätt" skillet) with butter or margarine
on medium heat. Pour a thin layer of the batter for each crepe. Fly
slowly until the batter has almost thickened on the top side. Turn and
fry another minute. 

Keep warm until ready to serve. Serve with lingonberries (i.e. a jam
made from lingonberries and sugar).
