lemon crepe

Thin citrus pancake

A lemon crepe is a thin French pancake filled or topped with lemon-flavored ingredients—typically lemon curd, fresh lemon juice with sugar, or lemon-infused cream.

The bright citrus cuts through the richness of the crepe: We shared a lemon crepe at the café.

A classic preparation is crêpe au citron, dressed simply with lemon juice and powdered sugar.
