Crepes

Crepes are skinny wheat flour pancakes that are a staple of traditional French cuisine. A thin flour batter is placed into a lightly oiled frying pan or round hot plate to make them, and the batter must be promptly spread uniformly over the hot surface to ensure consistent crepe thickness. Creperies and restaurants that provide a variety of crepes frequently use a special spatula explicitly created for this purpose.

On the other hand, crepe fans who prepare the French dish at home can usually make beautiful thin pancakes by simply tilting the pan to divide the batter.
