Crêpes Suzette
🇫🇷 France
Ingredients
- 6 French crêpes (8-9 inches / 20-23 cm)
- 2 oranges
- 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup (100g) white sugar
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup (60ml) Grand Marnier
Steps
- Zest one orange, then juice both oranges and the lemon into a glass, combining with the zest.
- Heat a 12-inch nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Add the sugar and cook without stirring until it melts into a golden caramel.
- Carefully pour in the citrus juice and zest; the caramel will harden and bubble. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes until the caramel dissolves back into a liquid.
- Add the butter cubes and stir until the sauce is smooth and glossy. Lower the heat to low.
- Pour in the Grand Marnier. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully ignite the sauce with a long match or lighter, holding the flame near the edge of the pan. Let the flame burn out, then return the pan to the stove.
- Place a crêpe in the pan to soak up the sauce, then flip and fold it in half and in half again to form a triangle. Transfer to a serving plate and spoon extra sauce on top. Repeat with the remaining crêpes.
