since the 18th century. While
some sources also mention that

discovered and made in France in
the 1390s.

savory pancakes was first known in the Yunnan province,


China, then spread and became popular in Western Europe.
Farmers in the region realized that this type of wheat could
grow well in the climate of their region. With the
development of wheat production, the production and
consumption of crepes has also grown as a dish for the local
community. In France, not only as a legit dessert, crepes are
also enjoyed as a main dish.

dessert. Usually it is filled with jam,
chocolate, milk, ice cream, berries, sprinkles

the savory or salty variant, the crepes
can be rolled or folded and filled with fillings
such as cheese, ham, eggs, ratatouille,
mushrooms, or asparagus.
