The pancakes are fine and light pastries, from the Brittany region in France. They are prepared with flour, milk, eggs and melted butter, and are cooked in a hot pan until they are golden and crisp. Crêpes can be garnished in many ways, with sweet or savory ingredients. They are often served with powdered sugar, jam or whipped cream for sweet pancakes, or with vegetables, meat or cheese for salted pancakes.
