Crepes with Orange Zest and Chocolate
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- Pinch salt
- 3 teaspoons butter, plus 1/2 cup
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate, melted
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
- In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg, and salt.
- Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot add a teaspoon of butter and swirl the pan to coat the surface of the pan with the melted butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface in a smooth and even layer.
- After 2 minutes, lift up an edge of the crepe with a spatula to see if it is browning.
- When the underside has begun to brown, flip the crepe and cook the other side until it is also brown; about 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
- Repeat with the remaining 2 teaspoons butter and remaining batter.
- In large 10-inch saute pan, melt 1/2 cup butter, granulated sugar, and orange zest together.
- Add 1 crepe at time and cover it with the orange butter.
- Fold each crepe in half, and then in half again, to make a triangle and place it on a warm plate.
- Repeat these steps to cook the remaining crepes.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the crepe and dust it with powdered sugar.
- Drizzle the Grand Marnier over it and light it at the table in front of the guest.
- Always use caution.
- Serve hot.
