Borrowed from Welsh crempog.

crempog (plural crempogs)

1. A Welsh pancake made with self-raising flour, salt, eggs, milk and salted butter.
   • 1947, Viscount Gwynedd, Dame Margaret: The Life Story of His Mother, page 194:

     But each time a great stack of freshly made Crempogs was brought from the kitchen and handed round you can guess how fervently I prayed my mother's insistence that she really could eat no more of anything might spare us both.

   • 1973, Kyffin Williams, Across the Straits: An Autobiography:

     We used to visit farms for crempog teas and I used to eye the huge pot of melted butter, in which lurked the small round pancakes, with apprehension.

• compreg

• crempogen

Related to English crumpet; it is unclear which language borrowed from which. Compare also Breton krampouezh.
