Pancakes or crêpes?

This week we've been learning about the celebration of  'Mardi Gras' both in France and New Orleans (USA) and 'Pancake Day' in the UK. I guess one of the most interesting things you've learnt is how to cook pancakes or crêpes. This is a link to a basic recipe for you to cook pancakes at home:

I like them with cream and syrup. What about you? Have fun cooking pancakes and write a comment to share your experience.
