A crêpe or crepe (/kreɪp/ or /krɛp/, French: [kʁɛp] (
listen), Quebec French: [kʁaɪ̯p] (listen)) is a type of pancake. The dough is made of flour, eggs, and a liquid, usually milk or water. The crepe is then cooked on both sides.
Originally, crêpes came from Brittany in France, where they originated in the 13th century.[1] Today, they can be found all over the world.
There are two varieties: the sweet crêpe, crêpe sucrée, and the salty one, which is usually called galettes. Crêpes are usually consumed with a filling.
When preparing the gallettes, usually a different kind of flour is used (blé de Sarassin, from Buckwheat), and less sugar is used.
Special places that mainly servecrêpes are called crêperie in France.
