Pancakes and crepes are basically the same thing worldwide. 'Crepe' is a French term and it is usually much thinner than a pancake as the recipe calls for a more liquid batter.

What is the difference between creps American pancakes and westpancakes?

A crepe is a very thin pancake very popular in France and Belgium that is often topped or wrapped and filled (similar to a burrito) with either sweet (chocolate, ice cream, fruits) or savory (vegetables, meats) foods. The American pancake is specifically a breakfast food and often eaten with butter or fruit and syrup. The west pancake, more commonly known as the Belgian waffle, is eaten in a similar way to American pancakes but is usually thicker, harder, crispier, and made into a grill pattern on the top and bottom.
