Crepes Suzette 🥞🍊

Crepes Suzette | Pancake Tuesday is next week and if you want to up your pancake game, Crêpes Suzette is one of those classic showstopper desserts to try 🔥🥞 Remember to be cautious with the flambé part by having your head back and keep a lid handy just in case the fire gets too big! Serves: 2 Time: 25 minutes For the pancake batter: 100g plain flour Zest 1 large orange Pinch of salt 225ml of milk 2 free-range eggs 25g butter, melted, plus extra for frying For the sauce: 50g caster sugar 50g butter Juice of 2 large oranges 4 tbsp cointreau orange liqueur triple sec To serve: Vanilla ice cream Sieve the flour into a large mixing bowl, add the orange zest, pinch of salt and with a spoon, make a well in the centre. In a separate bowl add the milk, eggs and melted butter and mix until combined. Pour the milk mixture into the flour well and slowly incorporate. Whisk until you have a light and smooth batter. Add a little butter to your frying pan over a hot heat, evenly coat the surface and then, moving quickly, add a ladleful of the batter to the hot pan and move from side to side until it evenly covers the surface of the pan. Reduce the heat and cook for about a minute each side or until the batter begins to take a nice golden colour. Fold in half and then in half again to create a triangle and keep warm. Repeat this with the remaining batter (you should get 4 pancakes total). To make the sauce, add the sugar into the pan and let it caramelise a little but not turn into a caramel colour. Add the butter, swirl through and once frothy, add the orange juice to the pan. Once the sauce is slightly thick, add the pancakes back to the pan, one at a time, coating in the juices as you go. Continue like this until they’re all re-heated, folded and well soaked with the sauce. Drizzle the grand marnier into the pan, tilt the pan towards the flame to flambé or use a lighter, taking care at this point of the flames. Serve onto individual plates with a drizzle of any remaining sauce in the pan and a scoop of ice cream.
