Peruvian Pancakes, also known as Crepes, are a classic South American breakfast food. They are thin and slightly sweet, making them the perfect vessel for any number of sweet or savory toppings. Traditionally served with honey or syrup and fresh fruit, these delicate pancakes are a treat for the senses.

3.	Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
4.	Add a small amount of butter to the pan, swirling around until the pan is coated.
5.	Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, swirling gently to make the pancake as thin as possible.
6.	Cook for one minute, or until the edges of the pancake begin to curl up slightly.
7.	Flip the pancake over and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
8.	Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
