crêpes
Thin folded pancakes
Crêpes are thin French pancakes made from a batter of flour, eggs, milk, and butter, cooked on a flat surface until delicate and slightly lacy at the edges.
They can be filled with sweet or savory ingredients—Nutella and strawberries, ham and cheese, or simply butter and sugar.
The plural often appears without the accent: crepes.
