Classic French crepes Suzette with a buttery Grand Marnier orange sauce. Flambe the liquor in front of your guests for a Wow effect!

Ingredients

Scale

For the crêpes:

  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon (15g) melted butter
  • 1 cup (25 cl) milk
  • 2 Tablespoons oil for cooking

Orange sauce:

  • 1 medium orange, juice + zests
  • 1/4 cup (50g) softened butter
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
  • 1/4 cup (5 cl) Grand Marnier

Instructions

  1. Grate the zest of one orange and squeeze the juice of the two fruits.
  2. For the crepes: pour flour and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Add the eggs and the melted butter. Whisk vigorously and slowly start to pour in a little milk, mixing as you pour, to keep the batter smooth. Pour in the rest of the milk until it looks smooth. Cover the bowl and let sit for 2 hours.
  3. In another bowl, stir the softened butter with the sugar, the orange juice and the zest.
  4. Heat a 15cm/6in crepes pan and grease with oil using a piece of paper towel. Pour in a ladle of dough by tilting the pan in all directions to distribute the dough well. Heat until the surface is cooked, then flip the pancakes and cook the other surface for about a minute, or until the crepe becomes lightly blonde. Proceed the same with the remaining batter.
  5. Fill each crepe with a little bit of the orange butter, fold into 4, and place on an oven-proof baking dish to keep them warm in the oven.
  6. When ready to serve, heat the Grand Marnier in a small saucepan, pour onto the crepes, and flambe in front of the guests.
