Steps:
- For the bread pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a baking dish with butter. Add the cubed bread.
- In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, raisins, condensed milk, sugar, and vanilla and whisk together. Add the eggs and whisk again until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the custard over the bread and allow to soak for a few minutes. Press the bread into the liquid to help absorb.
- Sprinkle the top with the cinnamon and chopped pecans and bake in the oven until the custard is set, about 30 minutes. Stick a paring knife into the center of the pudding. If it comes out with liquid stuck to the knife, cook for a few minutes more until firm. Remove the bread pudding from the oven and allow to cool a bit.
- For the peach sauce: In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the peaches, sugar, and liqueur and stir gently until the sugar dissolves. Allow to simmer until the mixture begins to thicken and darken, about 2 minutes. Stir while cooking to avoid burning. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow to heat through and thicken, about 2 minutes. If the sauce needs additional thickening, combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and stir some into the sauce. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
- For the rum sauce: Heat a small, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the sugar. Stir and cook until the sugar is melted. Remove from the heat and add the orange liqueur and dark rum. Return to the heat and simmer for 1 minute, and then flambe, if desired, or just let the alcohol burn off.
- To plate: Using a ring cutter, cut out rounds of bread pudding and plate in a shallow bowl. Pour the peach sauce over top, and then the rum sauce. Garnish with a dollop of creme fraiche and a small sprig fresh mint.
CREPES SUZETTE WITH ORANGE SAUCE
It takes a few crepes to get the heat of the pan right; your first two or three will almost inevitably be unusable. (To allow for practice, the recipe yields about 16 crepes; only 12 are needed for the dish.) A dry measuring cup with a 1/4 cup capicity is useful for portioning the batter. Whole milk is better than skim or lowfat.

Steps:
- FOR THE CREPES: Combine eggs, milk, water, flour, Cognac, sugar, salt and melted butter in a blender until smooth batter forms, about 10 seconds. Transfer batter to medium bowl.
- Using pastry brush, brush bottom and sides of 10-inch nonstick skillet very lightly with melted butter; heat skillet over medium heat. When butter stops sizzling, tilt pan slightly to right and begin pouring in scant 1/4 cup batter. Continue to pour batter in slow, steady stream, rotating wrist and twirling pan slowly counterclockwise until pan bottom is covered with even layer of batter. Cook until crepe starts to lose opaqueness and turns spotty light golden brown on bottom.-, loosening crepe from side of pan with rubber spatula, 30 seconds to 1 minute. To flip crepe, loosen edge with rubber spatula and, with fingertips on top side, slide spatula under crepe and flip. Cook until dry on second side about 20 seconds.
- Place cooked crepe on plate and repeat cooking process with remaining batter, brushing pan very lightly with butter before making each crepe. As they are done, stack crepes on plate (you will need 12 crepes). (Crepes can be double-wrapped in plastic and refrigerated up to 3 days. If crepes have been refrigerated, bring them to room temperature before making sauce,).
- ORANGE SAUCE: Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat broiler. Add 3 tablespoons Cognac to broiler-safe 12-inch skillet; set over medium heat just until vapors begin to rise from Cognac, about 5 seconds. Remove pan from heat and wave lit chimney match over cognac until it ignites; shake pan until flames subsides. (Cognac should burn for about 15 seconds; re-ingite if flame dies too soon).
- Add butter, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1 cup orange juice to cognac; simmer briskly over high heat, whisking occasionally, until many large bubbles appear and mixture reduces to thick syrup, 6-8 minutes. (You should have just over 1/2 cup sauce.) Transfer sauce to small bowl; do not wash skillet. Stir remaining 1/4 cup orange juice, zest, liqueur, and remaining tablespoon cognac into sauce. Cover to keep warm.
- TO ASSEMBLE: Fold each crepe in half, then in half again to form wedge shape. Arrange 9 folded crepes around edge of now-empty skillet, with rounded edges facing inward, overlapping as necessary to fit. Arrange remaining 3 crepes in center of pan, sprinkle crepes evenly with remaining tablespoon sugar. Place skillet in oven and broil until sugar caramelizes and crepes turn spotty brown, about 5 minutes. (Watch crepes constantly to prevent scorching; turn pan as necessary) Remove pan from oven and pour half of sauce over crepes, leaving some areas unsauced. Transfer crepes to individual serving dishes ans serve immediately, passing extra sauce separately.

Steps:
- Bring orange juice, sugar, and Grand Marnier to a simmer in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring until sugar is melted. Add butter a piece at a time, whisking until incorporated before adding more; stir in salt. Continue to gently simmer, swirling sauce often, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve warm.
Tips:
- For a classic Suzette sauce, use fresh oranges and lemons. Choose ripe, juicy fruits with thin skins for the best flavor.
- Use unsalted butter for the sauce. This will help you control the saltiness of the dish.
- Don't let the butter brown. This will give the sauce a bitter flavor.
- Add the sugar gradually to the sauce, stirring constantly. This will help prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
- Be careful not to overcook the sauce. The sauce should be thick and syrupy, but it should not be too thick.
- Serve the Suzette sauce immediately over pancakes, waffles, or French toast.
Conclusion:
Suzette sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to top a variety of breakfast foods. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it classic or with a twist, Suzette sauce is sure to please everyone at your table.
