Crêpe


	Crêpe is the French word for "pancake," but crêpes are not at all like American pancakes. The crêpe, made from a thin batter of eggs, milk and flour, is a paper-thin wrapper for a filling. Thin unleavened batter is poured into a crêpe pan or small skillet with sloping sides and then tilted so the batter flows quickly over the bottom of the pan forming a thin layer. Crêpes are cooked only until lightly browned on one side and dry on the other side. Fillings can be either savory or sweet. Crêpe Suzette, the most well-known crêpe dish, is composed of folded crêpes without filling that are heated in an orange-butter sauce and finished with flaming liqueur. This dish is usually prepared at the table, making for a spectacular presentation.
