crepe batter

French pancake mixture

Crepe batter is the thin, pourable mixture used to make crepes—typically flour, eggs, milk, and butter blended until smooth.

Unlike pancake batter, it has no leavening agent and produces paper-thin results: Let the crepe batter rest for an hour before cooking.

The French spelling crêpe appears in culinary contexts.
