Acrêpe is a type of thin lacy pancake. It originates from Brittany, a region in the west of France, where it is traditionally served with apple cider. It used to be cooked on flat rocks (where the name comes from). Crêpes are usually of two types: sweet or savoury, the main difference is the flour used (plain flour or buckwheat flour respectively); they may then be rolled or folded, and filled with different ingredients. A classic crepe recipe is crepe suzette.
