Crepes are a preparation originating from the Brittany region in France, where they became popular since the 13th century. These thin omelets are traditionally made with flour, eggs, milk, and butter, simple ingredients that have transcended borders. In Latin America, crepes are known by various names depending on the country; in Mexico, they are recognized as "crepes," while in other places they may be called "thin pancakes" or simply "pancakes," although with some variations in the recipe. The consumption of crepes not only refers to their taste and texture but also to their versatility for filling them with sweet or savory ingredients, making them an adaptable meal for any time of the day.
Their European origin and easy preparation caused crepes to spread quickly throughout Latin America, adapting to local products and the regional palate. Currently, it is common to find them in breakfasts, snacks, or desserts, enhancing flavors with jams, cheeses, fruits, and other combinations.
