student asking question

At the beginning he said "making crepes", so technically he should have said "crepes" here, not "pancakes", right?

Native speaker’s answer

Correct, this could have been a simple mistake. The ingredients used for crepes and pancakes are quite similar, so the speaker may have gotten them mixed up. Additionally, many people consider crepes to be a type of thin pancake. According to this logic then, using "pancakes" here to refer to crepes isn't wrong.
