Cultural Note
Crêpes are a staple of Breton cuisine. On La Chandeleur (February 2nd), French families traditionally make crêpes — the custom says you should flip the crêpe while holding a coin in your other hand for prosperity. Savory crêpes made with buckwheat flour are called 'galettes' in Brittany.
