How To Make crÊpes suzette

  • 1
    BATTER:
  • 2
    In the jar of a blender, combine all the ingredients except the flour and process on medium speed until mixed, about 20 seconds.
  • 3
    Add flour and process until combined and smooth, scraping the sides of the jar if needed.
  • 4
    Let the batter stand for at least 30 minutes (longer is better) to allow the gluten to relax and the bubbles to settle.
  • 5
    CRÊPES:
  • 6
    In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, brush on some butter at the bottom of the pan.
  • 7
    When it gets warm, add about a ¼ cup of batter and swirl the pan around so it evenly covers the bottom.
  • 8
    Cook until golden brown, about 1:30 to 2 minutes.
  • 9
    Using a spatula, flip the crêpe over and cook until brown as well.
  • 10
    Transfer to a plate and place a piece of wax paper to prevent it from drying out. Brush more butter in the pan and continue making crêpes until the batter is gone.
  • 11
    ORANGE SAUCE:
  • 12
    In a 12-inch stainless steel skillet on medium heat, sprinkle granulated sugar and gently caramelize it, about 2 minutes.
  • 13
    When the sugar starts melting, reduce the heat to medium-low and add butter. Stir until both ingredients are blended and the mixture turns into a gorgeous caramel color.
  • 14
    Add 1 tablespoon orange zest and 1 tablespoon lemon zest; stir quickly. Pour in orange juice and lemon juice. Increase to medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer; cook for 3 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  • 15
    Add orange segments, gently stir to coat and push them aside before placing one crêpe. Using a fork and a spoon, fold the crêpe in half and then half again; repeat until all crêpes are used and are folded into triangles.
  • 16
    Pour in Grand Marnier and Limoncello liqueur.
  • 17
    Transfer crêpes on serving plates, spoon sauce over, add vanilla ice cream and garnish with the remaining 1 tbsp. orange zest. Makes 4 crêpes.
