Traditional Crepes Suzette

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 3.5 oz
Brown Sugar - 4.2 oz
Chicken Egg - 3 pieces
Safflower Oil - 1 tablespoon
Milk - 10 fl oz
Butter - 3.5 oz
Oranges - 4 pieces
Citrus Zest Mix - 1 tablespoon
Grand Marnier Liqueur - 3 spoons
Cognac - 1 tablespoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs, two tablespoons of milk, and vegetable oil; stir with a spoon until smooth and homogeneous. Then, slowly pour in the remaining milk while continuing to mix. The batter should be smooth and uniform.

Step 2

In a preheated skillet, fry the thin pancakes on both sides until golden brown.

Step 3

For the sauce, melt the butter and sugar in a deep skillet over low heat, stirring until the sugar begins to dissolve. Then, increase the heat and wait for the mixture to turn brown and start bubbling.

Step 4

Add the zest of lemon and orange, along with freshly squeezed orange juice. Let it sit for 3-4 minutes to thicken, then pour in the Grand Marnier and cognac, warming for a few seconds before reducing the heat.

Step 5

Soak each pancake in the sauce directly in the skillet, fold them in quarters, and leave them in the skillet. Serve 3-4 pancakes per portion with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
