The word “crepe” can refer to two main things in English:
1. **Culinary Definition**: A crepe is a thin pancake made from a batter of flour, eggs, and milk. It is usually cooked on a hot surface until it is lightly browned and can be filled or topped with a variety of ingredients, both sweet (like fruits, chocolate, or whipped cream) and savory (like cheese, ham, or vegetables).
2. **Textile Definition**: Crepe also refers to a type of fabric that has a crinkled or textured surface. This fabric can be made from various fibers, including silk, wool, or synthetic materials, and is often used in clothing and upholstery.
In both contexts, the term evokes a sense of delicacy and lightness.
