A crepe is a French version of a pancake. However, unlike traditional American pancakes, crepes are thin and delicate with a slightly crispy exterior and are often filled with sweet or savory fillings. They can be made with a variety of ingredients, including flour, milk, eggs, and butter, and are a popular breakfast or dessert item in French cuisine. Crepes can be enjoyed plain or with toppings like Nutella, fruit, whipped cream, or ham and cheese.
