Crepes to Delight the Palate

Crepes, or crêpes, are derived from pancakes, one of the oldest dishes from Brittany, France. The word crêpe means thin in French, and they emerged after wheat flour was refined (in the late 19th century). Crepes have become the base for delicious breakfasts, tempting appetizers, magnificent main courses, and extraordinary desserts. The batter can be sweet or savory, and depending on its use, the crepe can be filled or glazed.
