Crêpes Suzette
A delightful crêpe dessert with a bright, buttery orange sauce. Crêpes Suzette are a French classic. What sets them apart from everyday pancakes is that they're made with butter instead of oil and enriched with extra eggs — and they're finished in a glorious orange-caramel sauce.
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
Gather everything you'll need. Wash the oranges well.
-
Step 2:
For the batter, combine the eggs with the sugar and whisk together briefly.
-
Step 3:
Add a pinch of salt and the melted butter. Pour in the milk and gradually whisk in the flour, mixing to a smooth, thin, lump-free batter.
-
Step 4:
Lightly oil the pan before the first crêpe. Pour a little batter onto the hot pan and swirl it out into a thin, even layer. Cook on both sides until golden.
-
Step 5:
Cook all the crêpes this way, stacking them on a plate one on top of another.
-
Step 6:
For the sauce, cut the oranges in half and squeeze out the juice.
-
Step 7:
Put the butter in a hot skillet and add the sugar. Give it a minute to melt and dissolve.
-
Step 8:
Stir the cornstarch into the orange juice until smooth, with no lumps.
-
Step 9:
Pour it into the skillet, stir, and bring to a boil. If it gets too thick, thin it with a splash of water.
-
Step 10:
Fold each crêpe into a triangle and lay it in the hot orange syrup. Let them sit for a couple of minutes to soak up the sauce, turning them over so both sides are coated. Arrange the finished crêpes on plates and serve. Enjoy!
