When compared to other meals like pancakes and waffles, they have fewer calories, fats, carbs, and proteins. Even if you're on a diet, you can eat crepes without jeopardizing your nutritional intake. They are very versatile too; you can fill them with almost anything you want: fruit, vegetables, meat, cheese... The options are endless! Crepes are made by cooking thin sheets of flour and water mixture, called "crepe batter", over an oil or butter flame. The pan should be hot enough to make the batter react quickly when poured into it, but not so hot that it burns the bottom of the crepe. Once the crepe is flipped, you should let it cook for about 1 more minute before removing it from the pan to keep it crispy. People love crepes because of their lightness and versatility. You can use any kind of flour to make the batter and there are many different flavors you can add to it. There are two main types of crepes: sweet and savory. Sweet crepes usually contain eggs, sugar, and sometimes milk or yogurt. They can be filled with fruits or chocolate chips for dessert or coffee or tea for breakfast. Savory crepes are usually cooked with cheese, vegetables, or meats and they can be used as an appetizer, an entree, or even as sandwiches.
