Crepes are a culinary preparation originating from France, specifically from the Brittany region. This dish has traveled the world and has been adapted to various palates and cultures. In Latin America, although the term "crepes" is widely recognized, they are also known as "panqueques" in countries like Argentina and Uruguay, or simply as "tortitas" in some parts of Mexico and Central America. Crepes have a history dating back several centuries, when they were consumed as a simple mixture of flour and water, evolving over time into the current recipe that includes eggs and milk, which gives them a thin and flexible texture.
This versatile dish can be enjoyed in both sweet and savory versions, and it is very common to have it for breakfast, snacks, or as a dessert. Its easy preparation and the possibility of filling them with an endless variety of ingredients have made them a favorite in homes and restaurants around the world.
