Crepe

A crepe is a very thin pancake, usually made from wheat flour or buckwheat flour. The word comes from the Latin word for "curved", which describes the shape of the pancake when it is cooked.

Crepe recipes are thought to have originated in France, and the first recorded crepe recipe dates back to the 14th century. However, it is likely that crepes were being made long before this, as they are a very simple dish to make.

Traditionally, crepes are served with a sweet filling, such as sugar and lemon juice, or jam. However, they can also be filled with savory ingredients, such as cheese or ham.
