KATE'S EASY CREPES SUZETTE
Here's a filling for Crepes Suzette without the traditional flaming--less fun but very good! You can substitute Triple Sec, Cointreau, Limoncello or other liquers for the Grand Marnier. Step-by-step photos are posted in the French Forum under "Techniques." I recommend recipe #170083 made with butter.

Steps:
- Cream the powdered sugar into the butter until you have a smooth texture.
- Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and Grand Marnier. It will break down (look a little curdled) when you add the citrus and alcohol but that is okay.
- Spread the mixture over each crepe.
- Fold the crepes in quarters and pile together.
- Keep crepes warm in a 200 degree Fahrenheit oven.

Steps:
- To make the crêpes, combine milk, water, eggs, sugar, and salt in a blender; blend on medium speed until smooth, about 10 seconds. Add flour and blend until smooth, about 5 more seconds. Add 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and orange zest; pulse until incorporated, about 3 (1-second) pulses. Cover blender and place in refrigerator; let rest for 20 minutes.
- Remove crêpe batter from fridge. Heat a small (6-inch) nonstick skillet or crêpe pan over medium. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the melted butter and swirl to coat skillet. Add 2 tablespoons batter and swirl to coat bottom of skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until the bottom is lightly golden, and the top is still a little moist, about 1 minute. Swirl skillet to loosen crêpe and gently flip with a spatula and your fingers. Cook until golden, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining butter and batter.
- To make orange sauce, combine orange juice, white sugar, and orange zest in a small skillet over medium. Cook, stirring often, until sugar is dissolved and the liquid starts to bubble, 3 to 4 minutes. Gradually add the butter, piece by piece, stirring constantly, until it is melted and fully incorporated, about 2 minutes. Let sauce come back up to a simmer and let simmer until slightly syrupy, stirring occasionally, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in orange liqueur and salt. Remove from the heat.
- Fold each crêpe in half, then half again to make a triangle. Dip the folded crêpes into the hot orange sauce. Place on a serving platter. Repeat with remaining crêpes, overlapping each crêpe so they are facing the same direction.
- To serve, pour orange liqueur into the skillet with the remaining orange sauce and place over medium-high. If it does not ignite automatically, use a long-stemmed lighter and carefully set the liqueur on fire. Let it burn for about 30 seconds. Pour the flaming liqueur over the crêpes on the platter and serve immediately with ice cream.

Steps:
- Make the crêpe batter: sift the flour into a bowl. make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into the well. Add one third of the milk and gradually mix the wet ingredients into the flour until smooth. Whisk the remaining milk, the browned butter, sugar, and grated orange and lemon zests. Leave to rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, rub five of the sugar cubes all over the orange, to take up the the oil from the zest. Rub the remaining sugar cubes all over the lemon. Make about 20 crêpes. Heat some clarified butter in a crêpe pan. Pour off the excess butter and ladle enough in enough batter to cover the base. Immediately tilt the pan so the base is evenly covered. Cook the crêpe until it begins to form bubbles on the surface and the edge turns light brown. Use a palette knife to carefully loosen the edges of the crêpes. Turn the crêpe over with the palette knife (or try to flip it over with a flick of the wrist), and cook for a few seconds until the second side is lightly browned. Slide the crêpe out of the pan. Pare the zest from the orange and lemon, using a citrus zester, then squeeze their juice. Melt the sugar cubes in a large frying pan and stir in the zest and juice. Taking the crêpes one at a time, turn them in this sauce to coat both sides, then fold into quarters. Arrange the crêpes on warmed individual plates. Add the Cointreau to the sauce, whisk in the butter, and serve spooned over the crêpes.
