To burn it off
A crepe is a thin pancake made of flour, egg and milk. In the UK you probably have it on Pancake Day with lemon and sugar, or from a stall on holiday.
A plain one is 130 kcal. With Nutella it's 230, so the spread adds about 100.
The fillings decide where it ends up. Banana is a small extra, a big swirl of Nutella plus whipped cream is a proper pudding.
Tips
- 1Go for lemon and a little sugar, the British classic.
- 2Ask for a thin layer of Nutella with sliced banana.
- 3Share one from the stall instead of having one each.
Where it comes from
Thin pancakes are eaten all over the world, but the crepe is tied to Brittany in northwest France. Buckwheat, which went into the Breton version, arrived there in the 15th century, not with the Crusades as the story often goes. The Breton word for crepe already appears in a dictionary from 1499, and Bretons who moved to Paris made creperies popular there in the 1950s.
