Crêpe maker

A crêpe maker is a cooking device used to make crêpes, galettes, pancakes, blinis or tortillas.

Crêpe makers were originally large cast-iron plates set over the fire to cook cereal-based batters.

The machines have since evolved and the cast-iron plates were set on top of stainless steel frames.

They are also known as billig, mainly in Brittany, France, where crêpes originated.

Billig is a mutated form of the breton word pillig meaning "crêpe maker".
