\ud83d\udcd6 History and curiosity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crepes originated in the Brittany region of France<\/strong> over a thousand years ago. Initially made with buckwheat flour, they were more rustic. Over time, the recipe was refined into the thin, soft crepes we know today. In France, they are a traditional dish for Candlemas , <\/strong>where<\/em> families cook them together as a symbol of prosperity. Today, they have spread throughout the world with thousands of fillings and combinations.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The first time I tried to flip a crepe in mid-air, it ended up stuck to the ceiling \ud83e\udd23. Since then, I’ve learned that it’s best to use a spatula\u2026 unless you want a kitchen spectacle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
