Ingredients

  • 125g plain flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 250ml whole milk
  • 25g unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for cooking
  • 1 tablespoon caster sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 100g unsalted butter for sauce
  • 100g caster sugar for sauce
  • Zest of 2 oranges
  • 200ml fresh orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or orange liqueur
  • 1 tablespoon brandy, optional for flambé
  • Fresh orange segments for garnish

Instructions

1

Sift the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Whisk from the centre outward until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.

2

Cover the batter and rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

3

Heat a 20cm non-stick crêpe pan or frying pan over medium heat. Add a small knob of butter and swirl to coat. Pour in 2-3 tablespoons of batter, tilting the pan to spread evenly.

4

Cook the crêpe for 1-2 minutes until the edges turn golden and lift easily. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Stack cooked crêpes on a warm plate covered with a clean tea towel.

5

For the Suzette sauce, melt the 100g butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the caster sugar and cook, stirring, until dissolved and lightly caramelized.

6

Add the orange zest and orange juice to the caramel, stirring until smooth. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

7

Stir in the Grand Marnier and cook for 1 minute to blend the flavours.

8

Fold each crêpe into quarters and place in the orange sauce, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.

9

For an optional flambé, add the brandy to the pan, carefully ignite with a long match, and let the flames subside.

10

Serve immediately with 2 crêpes per person, drizzled generously with the orange sauce and garnished with fresh orange segments.
