Are crepes the same as pancakes?
While crepes and pancakes are similar, the key difference is that pancakes have a raising agent such as baking powder or baking soda, making them thick and fluffy. Crepes are very thin and flat – they also tend to have a a large diameter so that they can be rolled or folded with a filling. Pancake fillings are usually baked right into the pancake itself.
Enjoy!
