[French crêpe, from Old French crespe, curly, from Latin crispus.]

French; a thin pancake. Crêpe suzette is made with orange-flavoured batter and served with a sauce flavoured with an orange liqueur.

[KRAYP; KREHP] The French word for "pancake," which is exactly what these light, paper-thin creations are. They can be made from plain or sweetened batters with various flours, and used for savory or dessert dishes. Dessert crêpes may be spread with a jam or fruit mixture, rolled or folded and sometimes flamed with brandy or liqueur. Savory crêpes are filled with various meat, cheese or vegetable mixtures-sometimes topped with a complementary sauce-and served as a first or main course.

Tutor's tip: A "crap" is a losing throw of the dice, "crape" is a black mourning fabric, often worn as a band on the sleeve, to "creep" is to move slowly or near the ground, while "crepe" is a crinkled fabric or paper.
