Basic Crepe Recipe
- 10 ounces milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 ounces butter melted
- 1 1/2 cups flour, all-purpose
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 x butter and/or vegetable spray as needed
- 1 stick butter
- 13 cup sugar
- 1 large orange zest
- 1 large oranges juice
- 2 ounces liqueur grand marnier
- Add the liquid ingredients to a blender, mix them first, and then gradually add the flour and salt.
- Blend for one minute or until all the ingredients are well integrated, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender if need be.
- Strain the batter through a sieve and refrigerate for two hours.
- Butter an eight inch skillet over medium heat until the butter foams, or use vegetable spray.
- Pour 4 tablespoons, (two oz.
- ), of the crepe batter into the pan and immediately lift the pan and swirl it around to evenly cover the entire surface.
- Cook for about a minute more.
- Lift the edge with a spatula.
- If the crepe is a light brown it's time to flip.
- Cook for only 30 more seconds on the other side.
- Set the crepes aside and proceed with the sauce.
- Melt the sugar into the butter in at least a twelve but preferably a fourteen inch nonstick skillet over medium to medium-low heat.
- Add the zest and the juice and simmer for a minute or two.
- Add the crepes, one at a time.
- Place them in the skillet, coat them with the sauce, and then fold them into quarters.
- Successively overlap one folded crepe over another, around the edge of the pan.
- Add the Grand Marnier and either tip the pan toward the flame or use a match to ignite the liqueur.
- As soon as the flames subside, serve the crepes.
