Crepes, also known as "French pancakes," have a long and fascinating history that can be traced back to ancient times.

The origins of crepes can be traced to the Roman era, where they were called "galettes." These were thin pancakes made of wheat flour, milk, eggs, and honey. The galettes were popular throughout the Roman Empire and were eaten both sweet and savory.

In the Middle Ages, crepes became a popular dish in France. They were especially popular in Brittany, a region in northwest France, where they were made with buckwheat flour instead of wheat flour.

Over time, crepes evolved to include a variety of different fillings, including fruit, jam, chocolate, and even meat and vegetables. Today, crepes are enjoyed all over the world and can be filled with a wide range of sweet or savory ingredients.

In France, crepes are still a beloved dish and are often enjoyed on "La Chandeleur," a holiday that falls on February 2nd and celebrates the end of winter. On this day, it's traditional to make crepes and flip them in the air while holding a coin in one hand, as a sign of good luck.

Overall, the history of crepes is a long and varied one, and their popularity shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
