Say it: krep (approximate English pronunciation)

A crêpe is a thin pancake folded around a filling or served with a topping. Sweet versions might use sugar, chocolate or fruit. Brittany is particularly associated with crêpes and savory buckwheat galettes, although both are found beyond the region. The batter and filling help distinguish the many choices.
