Crêpes Suzette is a classic French dessert consisting of delicate pancakes served with a buttery orange sauce, flambéed with Grand Marnier or orange liqueur.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 3 large eggs beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/2 cup orange juice freshly squeezed
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur
- 2 tablespoons butter for sauce
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Whisk in the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth, creating the crêpe batter.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and pour in a small amount of batter, swirling it to evenly coat the bottom.
- Cook the crêpe for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly golden, then repeat with remaining batter.
- In another pan, prepare the sauce by melting butter, then adding orange juice, sugar, and orange zest. Let it simmer until slightly thickened.
- Add the crêpes to the pan with the sauce, folding them into quarters.
- Pour the Grand Marnier over the crêpes and carefully ignite with a long lighter to flambé. Allow the flame to subside.
- Serve the Crêpes Suzette immediately, spooning sauce over each serving.
