DP1: Crêpes [Exploring French regions]
The crêpe Bretonne comes from Lower Brittany in France. It is simple, flexible, and rooted in tradition. You will find it served plain or filled, sweet or savoury. There are two main types. Wheat crêpes are soft and sweet. Buckwheat crêpes are darker and used for savoury dishes. These are not the same as the buckwheat pancakes from Upper Brittany, which follow a different recipe. This dish shows how one idea adapts to different tastes and ingredients while keeping its identity.
