Many cultures eat thin, pancake-like foods. In France, you can buy crepes at creperies or from a street vendor. These crepes can be filled with savory or sweet fillings or enjoyed plain.
Because the batter is thin, crepes cook quickly. Create a crepe filling station by preparing your fillings ahead of time. Set them out for everyone to assemble their own snack as the crepes are done cooking. Store any leftovers in the fridge.
