crepes
Delicate French flapjacks
Crepes are thin, delicate pancakes made from a batter of flour, eggs, milk, and butter.
French in origin, they can be filled sweet or savory—with fruit and cream, or ham and cheese.
The batter spreads paper-thin on a hot surface, producing a flexible wrap rather than a fluffy cake.
Also spelled crêpes.
