Is it acceptable to have "dessert" for breakfast or brunch? Because I would like to eat Crêpes Suzette all day every day. If you haven't tried Crêpes Suzette, you are literally missing one of the best things in the world. I am not sure why it took me this long to try (I am not too keen on oranges that might be it), but I am glad that I finally did and I can honestly say that you should too! Here is my recipe for heaven on a plate.
Makes 6
Ingredients
For the crêpes
240 ml milk
120 gr flour
1 egg
27 gr vegetable oil
Pinch of salt
80 ml water
Oil for the pan
For the sauce
2 oranges
55 gr unsalted butter
26 gr sugar
160 ml orange juice
30 ml Grand Marnier
Instructions
1. For the crêpes; mix all ingredients in a food processor until combined. Heat a crêpe or a non-stick pan with medium heat, pour about 1/3 cup of batter, and tilt the pan to let the batter cover the bottom of the pan. Cook each side for 1,5 minutes or until browned. Continue with the rest of the batter. Set them aside.
2. Zest the oranges. Cut orange segments, set them aside.
3. Add 22 gr butter, and 13 gr sugar to the same pan, and heat at medium heat for 1 minute. Add 80 ml orange juice, and let the sauce caramelize for 1 more minute. Reduce the heat to low. Dip one crêpe halfway to the sauce, fold in half, and dip halfway again, and fold again and leave in the sauce. Continue with 2 more crêpes, so that there will be 3 in total in the pan. Add half of the orange segments to the pan. Add 15 ml Grand Marnier, and if you are experienced flambé by tilting the pan towards the gas. Skip if you are inexperienced, as it's not a necessary step. Remove and transfer to the serving plate, including the remaining sauce and oranges.
4. Continue with the rest of the 3 crêpes. Enjoy!
