WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CREPE AND A PANCAKE?
There isn’t too much of a difference between pancakes and crepes other than the size and texture. Pancakes are much thicker than crepes because most recipes call for a raising agent of some description such as baking powder or baking soda. Crepes, however, do not use a raising agent. This means your peanut butter crepes will remain flat and thin while pancakes will normally turnout thick and fluffy like our famous Best Fluffy Pancake recipe.
HOW TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER CUP CREPES
