The primary ingredient in traditional crepes is flour, typically all-purpose flour. Crepes are thin pancakes that originate from France and can be filled with a wide variety of sweet or savory fillings, depending on personal preference. The basic crepe batter is made by mixing flour with eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt. This mixture is then spread thinly on a hot, lightly greased skillet, cooked briefly on each side until lightly browned. Crepes can be served with a multitude of toppings, such as fresh fruits, Nutella, whipped cream, or savory ingredients like ham and cheese, making them a versatile dish.
