French crepes are thin pancakes. As the name suggests, they originated in France and are made with a thin batter without leavening agents, resulting in soft, buttery, yet slim pancakes that can be filled with sweet or savoury ingredients. This recipe shares two versions, one for a classic crepe (with no filling). And another version, with a filling of lemon and sugar that adds a tart sweetness to the dish, making it perfect for indulgent mornings or even a quick, after-lunch dessert.
