Panqueques con Dulce de leche or crepes are very popular in South America. Dulce de leche is the most popular filling for panqueques in Argentina and Chile, and it can be served as a delicious dessert or a snack mid-afternoon with tea or coffee.

In Chile, Dulce de Leche is called Manjar. In both countries, supermarkets offer infinite brands and combinations of Dulce de Leche, and many are making their way into the USA market. Play around and find your favorite!

What Dulce de Leche do you recommend?

I like the canned Dulce de Leche, La Lechera brand (made in Chile) Amazon-affiliated link. Easy to find in Latino markets in the USA or at Walmart or Safeway.

What crepe pan do you recommend?

I like the NorPro brand. You see that one in the recipe video. I also use it to make Torta de Panqueques (a thin cake layered). Buy it on Amazon (affiliate link)

Are crepes and Panqueques the same?

Yes, they are. You could argue that crepes are usually folded in 4, and Panqueques are rolled.

Follow this recipe to make Dulce de Leche from scratch (with milk and sugar).

These crepes are neither sweet nor salty, so you can play with the filling. Savory crepes are very popular in Chile, too. I like mine with spinach or corn and chicken in white sauce.
