So then, what is crepe material? The key to crepe lies in the wrinkled, bumpy look of the fabric. This look can be achieved in different ways, but part of the process is usually a very tight twisting of the fibers before making them into cloth.

To make crepes: In a blender or food processor, combine flour, eggs, salt, milk, and oil. Process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. In a 10″ non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat and allow it to coat the bottom of the pan.

Crepe recipes vary, but most include flour, liquid (milk and/or water), and salt. Restaurants usually make them with a specialty pan, but a regular skillet works in any home kitchen. Why are they a favorite? Crepes are popular because their versatility makes them FUN to eat.

Crêpes are very thin pancakes. They can be served with a wide variety of sweet and savory fillings and toppings. The breakfast staple dates back to at least 13th-century France.
