French pancake

Imagine a kind of pancake that is different from the ones you are used to - the French pancake, also known as "crepe". It's a flat and thin pancake made from simple ingredients like flour, eggs, milk, salt, and sometimes sugar.

To make a French pancake, a grown-up will pour a small amount of the batter onto a non-stick pan that has been heated up. They'll tip the pan and move the batter around to create a thin layer that covers the whole pan. Then, they'll wait until the edges of the pancake turn golden brown and use a thin spatula to carefully flip it over.

After that, you can fill it up with all kinds of delicious things like bananas, Nutella, strawberries, whipped cream, or even ham and cheese. Finally, the pancake is folded in half or rolled up like a burrito, and voila! You've got yourself a French pancake that's super yummy and perfect for breakfast, dessert, or any time of the day.
