The common feature of all crêpes is that they are very thin because they are made from a batter without rising agents such as yeast, baking powder, or bicarbonate of soda.

Although the word "crêpes" is of French derivation, other nationalities throughout Europe have also enjoyed crêpes as part of their long time traditions. The Hungarians enjoy their "Palacsinta", the Russians their "Blini", the Italians their "Crespelle", and the Greeks their "Kreps".

Each nationality has contributed its own flavors, fillings, toppings, and presentation to the widely diverse recipes that make crêpes so uniquely varied and international.
