A crepe is a thin, pancake-like dish that originated in France. Made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk, and butter, crepes can be cooked on a flat surface or in a specialized pan. They can be served sweet or savory, making them versatile for various meals. Sweet crepes are often filled with ingredients like fruits, chocolate, or whipped cream, while savory crepes may include cheese, meats, or vegetables. Popular variations include Nutella crepes and galettes, which are made with buckwheat flour and typically filled with savory ingredients.
