Wheat Crêpes: A Gourmet Tradition

Dec 1, 2025

Wheat crêpes, also known as soft wheat crêpes, are a staple of French gastronomy. Made from wheat flour, they stand out for their fine, tender texture and delicate flavor. This light batter, composed of flour, eggs, milk, and a touch of butter, provides the perfect base for a variety of sweet or savory fillings.

A symbol of conviviality, wheat crêpes are enjoyed with family or friends, accompanied by jam, chocolate, salted butter caramel, or simply a sprinkle of sugar. They are also ideal for more elaborate recipes, such as flambéed crêpes or those topped with fresh fruit.

Easy to prepare and loved by all, they embody the simple, authentic pleasure of traditional cuisine. Whether for Candlemas, an afternoon snack, or brunch, wheat crêpes remain a sure way to delight young and old alike.

Also discover our buckwheat crêpes, also known as Breton galettes, with their authentic and slightly rustic flavor—perfect for savory fillings such as ham, cheese, egg, or vegetables.

Why choose buckwheat?
Naturally gluten-free, buckwheat is rich in fiber and minerals, offering a healthy and tasty alternative. Its soft texture and distinctive taste make it the foundation of traditional Breton galettes
