📜 HISTORY

Crêpes originated in Brittany, France, over 700 years ago. Traditionally made during celebrations like La Chandeleur (Candlemas), crêpes symbolized prosperity. Over time, sweet versions with fruits like strawberries became popular worldwide.

🌱 BENEFITS

  • Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants
  • Light and easy to digest
  • Can be made low-sugar or gluten-free
  • Suitable for kids and adults

🧪 FORMATION (HOW IT COMES TOGETHER)

The liquid batter forms a thin layer when poured onto a hot pan. Heat causes proteins in eggs and flour to set, creating a soft yet elastic texture. Strawberries add moisture, sweetness, and contrast to the crêpe’s softness.
