A crepe is basically a flattened European pancake. Regionally it goes by different names, like palačinke in the Balkans. Most crepes do not use a leaving agent, but there are exceptions, such as today's recipe. Finally, while in the US pancakes are usually a breakfast or brunch food, crepes are usually a dessert or a main course. The best way to make them into the main course is by stuffing them with a hearty crepe filling.
