Crepes Suzette Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/4 cup Grand Marnier or Cognac
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, melted unsalted butter, and orange zest until well combined.
2. Heat a non-stick crepe pan over medium heat. Pour batter into the center of the pan, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan with a thin layer of batter. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the edges of the crepe begin to lift. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking cooked crepes on a plate as you go.
3. In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, Grand Marnier or Cognac, and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally.
4. Add softened unsalted butter to the saucepan and whisk until the butter has melted and the sauce is smooth.
5. To serve, fold each crepe in half, then in half again to form a triangle. Arrange crepes on a serving platter or individual plates. Drizzle the orange butter sauce over the crepes. Serve immediately.

Verdict:

Crepes Suzette is a classic French dessert that is sure to impress your guests. The crepes are tender and delicate, while the orange butter sauce adds brightness and richness. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a fancy brunch.
