The origin of French Crepes
French crepes are a type of thin pancake originating from Brittany, a region in the northwest of France. They were first made in the late 19th century, when buckwheat flour became a popular alternative to traditional wheat flour.
Traditionally, French crepes are made from a batter of flour, eggs, butter, and milk, and they can be served either sweet or savory.
Sweet crepes are usually filled with fruit, sugar, and cream, while savory crepes can be filled with cheese, vegetables, or meats.
