French Crepes Suzette
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 3 large eggs
- pinch of sea salt
- 3 tablespoons good quality butter, melted, plus more for brushing on pan
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier (or other orange liqueur)
- Combine all the crepe ingredients in a blender and mix on medium speed until smooth.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, if possible.
- If the mixture becomes too thick after refrigeration, add 1/4 cup of cold water.
- The batter should be very pourable.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Brush with a small amount of melted butter.
- Pour 2-3 tablespoons of batter into the center of the pan and tilt the pan to cover the bottom evenly.
- Cook about 1 minute.
- Turn and cook on the other side until the crepe is a light, golden brown.
- For the sauce: Bring the orange juice to a boil in a large skillet over high heat.
- Add the sugar and zest and simmer.
- Continue to cook until the sugar has disolved, for about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add the Grand Marnier.
- Working one by one, place each crepe in the boiled orange juice and allow to absorb the liquid for 1 minute.
- Remove and serve rolled while still warm.
