  • About
A crepe is a type of very thin pancake. Usually prepared from either wheat flour or buckwheat flour, the crepe originated in Brittany, a region in the northwest corner of France, and is widely consumed throughout the country. It is considered a national dish of France. In Brittany, crepes are traditionally served with cider. Crepes can be served with numerous fillings, ranging from the most simple such as jellies and jams or just sugar to elaborate, flavorful fillings or the famous flambéed crepe suzette.
