These luscious French-style crepes are dressed to impress.
- 100g plain flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 300ml milk
- 1 tbs unsalted butter, melted plus extra to fry
- Ice-cream, to serve
Sauce
- 100g caster sugar
- 35g unsalted butter
- 150ml orange juice
- 1 orange, zested
- 3 tbs Grand Marnier or Cointreau
- 2 tbs brandy
Method
- Place first six ingredients in a food processor and whiz until combined and mixture forms a smooth batter. Pour into a jug, and let sit for 30 minutes. Heat a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully brush the pan with a little melted butter. Tilting the pan slightly, pour in enough batter (about 2-3 tablespoons) to just cover the base. Cook for 1-2 minutes until base of the crepe is lightly browned.
- Carefully flip the crepe to brown the other side. Transfer to a plate and repeat until batter is used.
- To make the sauce, heat sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a frying pan over low heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add butter, increase heat to medium and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Add orange juice and zest, and simmer for a few minutes. Pour in liqueur and brandy and stir to combine. Dip a crepe into the sauce, then fold it into quarters and place on a serving plate.
- Repeat with remaining crepes, serving 2-3 per person. Serve with ice-cream.
