CrÉpes are thin pancakes made from either a sweet or a savory liquid batter. The batter is easy to prepare, and then requires only a hot greased pan for frying. Regional specialties vary throughout France, and crÉpes are fried on crÉpe irons at street-corner stands in every city. CrÉpes can be served plain, sprinkled with sugar or liqueur, or spread with jam, cream, or chocolate. They are often filled with fruit, cheese sauces, fish, meat, or vegetables.
