Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange zest
1/2 cup clarified butter
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
2 tablespoons orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
3 oranges, peeled and sectioned
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until pale. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups of the milk, orange liqueur, vanilla, and orange zest and flour until combined. If the mixture is too thick, add the remaining milk until a thin consistency is achieved. Cover and refrigerate batter for 30 minutes.
  • Heat an 8-inch crepe pan or skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute. Cover the surface of the pan with clarified butter until it gets sizzling hot. Ladle some batter onto the middle of the crepe pan and immediately start swirling the pan to distribute the batter over the surface. Cook for 45 to 60 seconds or until lightly golden brown. Flip over and cook the other side for 20 seconds. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
  • In a large skillet over high heat, bring the orange juice to a boil. Add the sugar and zest, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until the sugar has melted and the mixture is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the orange liqueur and orange sections. Set aside.
  • Working in batches, gently place a crepe into the pan holding the orange juice and orange sections. Leave for 1 minute to absorb some juice. Using a narrow spatula, remove the crepe to a warm serving plate. Repeat with remaining crepes. Roll the crepes into a cylinder. Spoon on some of the orange sections. Serve 2 crepes per person. Top with vanilla ice cream and serve immediately.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 navel oranges, juiced (about 1 cup orange juice)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier (optional)
6 navel oranges, peeled and sectioned
1 orange, zested
1/2 cup grenadine
Basic Dessert Crepes, recipe follows
Vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups cake flour
Pinch salt
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon rum or Grand Marnier, or 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 lemon, zest finely grated

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over high heat, bring the orange juice to a boil. Add the sugar, reduce to medium heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add the orange liqueur and orange sections. Set aside.
  • In a pot, combine the orange zest and grenadine. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Working in batches, gently place a crepe into the pan holding the orange juice and orange sections. Leave for 1 minute to absorb some juice.
  • Using a narrow spatula, remove the crepe to a warm serving plate. Roll the crepe into a cylinder. Spoon on some orange sections. Using a fork, pick some orange zest from the grenadine syrup and distribute it over the crepe. Top with vanilla ice cream and serve immediately.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter becomes brownish ? this gives it a nutty flavor. Don't let any of the butter turn black. Have a small bowl nearby so that you can pour off the butter as soon as it turns brown. Let cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl (alternately, use a blender to mix all ingredients together), blend the sugar, cake flour, and salt. Add the eggs and whisk well. Whisk in the oil and the brown butter. Pour in about 1/2 cup milk and whisk ? the mixture should form a thick paste. Pour in the remaining milk a little at a time while mixing and then add the rum (or Grand Marnier or vanilla bean), and lemon zest.
  • Heat the crepe pan over medium heat for about a minute. Cover the surface of the pan with clarified butter until it gets sizzling hot.
  • Ladle some batter onto the middle of the 8-inch crepe pan and immediately start swirling the pan to distribute the batter over the surface. Pour the batter so that it's very thin on the pan ? and remember, move the pan, not the ladle.
  • Cook the crepe for about 30 to 60 seconds (heat may vary) or until it's brown around the edge and dry in the center. Using a thin spatula (it resembles a long tongue depressor), flip the crepe quickly and cook for about 15 seconds.
  • Using the spatula, remove the crepe to a warm plate. Sprinkle the crepe with sugar. Repeat with the remaining batter. (After the first few crepes, you shouldn't have to add more butter to the pan.)

CREPES SUZETTE

Categories     dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2/3 cup whole milk, at room temperature
2 large eggs, at room temperature
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus additional for greasing the pan
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups freshly squeezed (pulp-free) orange juice
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 oranges, 1 zested in long strips with a citrus zester, both segmented
1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur, preferably Grand Marnier
3 ounces cognac
Whipped Crème Fraîche, recipe follows, for serving
1 cup (8 ounces) crème fraîche
1 teaspoon vanilla paste

Steps:

  • For the crepes: In a blender, add the milk, eggs, melted butter and 1/4 cup water; blend to combine. Add the flour, sugar and salt and blend, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed, until smooth, about 1 minute. Cover and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Re-blend the batter just before cooking. Heat a nonstick crepe pan or 10-inch nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Coat the pan with a small amount of butter and allow it to froth and bubble. Ladle about 1/4 cup batter into the center of the pan and lift and swirl to spread the batter evenly over the bottom of the pan in a circular motion. When the crepe begins to set, the edges get a little lacy and the bottom gets a little color, about 1 minute, carefully flip with a spatula. Continue cooking until lightly browned on the second side, about 45 seconds. Transfer to a plate or sheet pan. Repeat until the batter is used up, stacking the crepes as made. (You should have about 8 crepes.)
  • For the sauce: In a 10-inch skillet, bring the juice to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and continue to simmer until the juice reduces down by two-thirds, or until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Melt half the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add half the orange segments, half the zest strips and half the reduced orange juice and allow the orange segments to soften and the liquid to reduce, about 1 minute. Fold each crepe in half, and then in half again to form triangles. Add half the folded crepes to the sauce in a single layer, then allow them to be gently coated in the sauce. Flip and coat the other side. Add half the orange liqueur to the pan and allow it to reduce slightly. Pour half the cognac into the pan, then tip the pan to catch the flame and ignite the sauce. (Alternatively, use a long stick lighter to ignite the liquor.) Allow the flame to burn off the alcohol. Transfer the crepes to plates and serve with the Whipped Crème Fraîche. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make 2 more servings.
  • Lightly whisk the crème fraîche and vanilla paste in a chilled bowl until the crème fraîche is slightly loosened up and the vanilla is incorporated. Chill until ready to use.

CREPES SUZETTE

Time 35m

Yield 8 crepes or 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup flour
Butter, for crepe pan, plus 12 tablespoons
4 teaspoons vanilla sugar
2 oranges, grated
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons orange flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
2 tablespoons cognac

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Whisk in the salt, sugar, and flour. Set aside for 30 minutes. In a nonstick 8 to 10-inch skillet, melt about 1/2 teaspoon butter over medium heat. When it foams, pour or ladle about 1/8 cup (2 tablespoons) into the batter. Lift and swirl the pan so the batter coats the bottom. Replace the pan on the burner and cook just until set and the underside is lightly browned. Using a spatula or your fingers, flip and cook until the other side is lightly browned. Transfer to a platter. Repeat until the batter is used up.
  • In a food processor blend together the 12 tablespoons butter, sugar, orange rind, and juice. Chill. When ready to serve, melt the orange butter in a saute pan over an open flame to make a sauce. Add the crepes one at a time using a fork to flip them to coat both sides. When coated fold the crepe into quarters, push it to the side of the pan and continue coating another one. Overlap the folded crepes on one side of the pan while you coat the rest. When all of them have been dressed in the orange butter, pour the orange liqueur and cognac into the pan and warm it, then tip your pan towards the flame to ignite it. Let the flame die down and serve 2 crepes per person.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges: The fresher the oranges, the better the flavor of your Crêpes Suzette.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: This will release the essential oils from the orange peel, which will add a lovely flavor to the sauce.
  • Use unsalted butter: This will allow you to control the amount of salt in the sauce.
  • Cook the crêpes over medium heat: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be thick and syrupy, but it should not be too thick or it will become sticky.
  • Serve the crêpes immediately: Crêpes Suzette are best served hot, so make sure to enjoy them as soon as they are made.

Conclusion:

Crêpes Suzette is a classic French dessert that is sure to impress your guests. With its delicate crêpes, tangy orange sauce, and rich butter flavor, this dish is a true delight. Whether you are making it for a special occasion or just a weeknight treat, Crêpes Suzette is sure to be a hit.
