Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the Crêpes:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup less 1 tablespoon water
2 eggs
2 tablespoons butter ( melted )
2 teaspoons orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
For the Orange Syrup:
16 tablespoons butter (divided)
4 tablespoons granulated sugar (divided)
4 ounces Grand Marnier (divided)
Topping: vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a big bowl, vigorously whisk the flour, milk, water, eggs, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, orange juice, orange zest, and salt until the batter is completely smooth. Allow the batter to rest in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before making the crêpes.
  • Use some of the remaining melted butter to grease a crêpe pan , large skillet, or nonstick skillet. Heat up over low-medium heat.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of batter to the pan and swirl it until the bottom of the pan is covered with batter.
  • Cook the crêpe for 1 minute, or until the crêpe is slightly moist on top and golden underneath.
  • Loosen the edges of the crêpe, slide a spatula under it, and then gently flip it. If you don't have a spatula, use your fingers, a fork, or carefully flip it in the air using just the pan.
  • Cook for 1 minute and transfer the cooked crêpe to a plate to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan with melted butter every time. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet set over medium heat, melt half of the butter until it foams.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle half of the sugar over the melted butter.
  • Carefully add half of the orange liqueur. The mixture will ignite.
  • When the flame goes out, add each crêpe to the pan to coat both sides in the orange syrup.
  • Fold the crêpes into quarters or roll them up.
  • Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet, remove it from the heat, and add the remaining sugar and Grand Marnier.
  • For serving, place 1 or 2 crêpes per person on a plate, top with a scoop of ice cream, and drizzle with orange syrup. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy.

CRêPES SUZETTE



Crêpes Suzette image

This is just one of those desserts that seem, on the page as on the plate, to be labor-intensive and tricky, but in fact are as simple to make as they are gratifying to eat. For one thing, you can make the crepes in advance; they could sit, piled between torn-off sheets of baking parchment and well wrapped in the refrigerator, for a good three days without coming to any harm. But I must admit to taking, more than once, an even quicker route: using good store-bought crepes. Once they're immersed in the sweet orangey syrup, they will not betray their prefabricated origins.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup superfine sugar
8 to 12 crepes (see recipe)
1/3 cup Grand Marnier, Cointreau or triple sec liqueur

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, zest, butter and sugar. Place over high heat and bring to boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until syrupy, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Fold crepes into quarters, and arrange in circular pattern, slightly overlapping, in a nonreactive skillet or other shallow flameproof pan. Pour warm syrup on top (reserve syrup pan), and place over low heat until crepes are warm, about 5 minutes.
  • Warm liqueur in pan that held orange syrup. When crepes are hot, pour liqueur on top; carefully touch a flame to surface to light it. Serve immediately, spooning crepes and sauce onto each plate.
