A crêpe is a type of very thin, cooked pancake
usually made from wheat
flour.
The word, like the pancake itself, is of French origin,
deriving from the Latin
crispa, meaning "curled." While crêpes originate from Brittany,
a region in the northwest of France, their consumption is nowadays widespread in France and is
considered the national dish. In Brittany,
crêpes are traditionally served with cider. For the chocoholic
this is a delicious recipe to enjoy with family and friends.
