Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier (orange liqueur)
- 1 orange, sliced
- Additional sugar for garnish
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Crepe Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and create a well in the center.
- Crack the eggs into the well and whisk them gently using a wire whisk until smooth.
- Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to whisk, ensuring a smooth and lump-free batter.
- Add melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, and mix until well combined. The batter should be thin and pourable.
- Set the batter aside and let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Cook the Crepes:
- Heat a flat non-stick pan over medium to medium-high heat.
- Ladle 1/4 cup portions of the batter onto the pan, swirling it around to coat the bottom evenly, or simply pour from a measuring cup.
- Cook each crepe for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until lightly golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the crepes from the pan and place them on a serving plate.
-
Prepare the Orange Syrup:
- In a small saucepan, combine the water, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and orange marmalade. Heat over low heat until the mixture comes to a simmer.
- Let the mixture simmer until it reduces to a thin syrup consistency, stirring occasionally.
-
Assemble and Garnish:
- Drizzle the warm crepes with the prepared orange syrup, ensuring each crepe is generously coated.
- Garnish the crepes with fresh orange slices and a sprinkle of sugar for added sweetness.
-
Flambé the Crepes (Optional):
- In another small saucepan, heat the Grand Marnier until small bubbles start to form, but do not allow it to boil.
- Carefully ignite the liqueur using a long match, and immediately pour it over the crepes while the flames are still burning. (Exercise caution and keep your face away from the pan during this process.)
Serving Suggestions:
Serve these delectable Crepes With Orange Syrup warm, allowing the syrup to soak into each layer of the crepe for maximum flavor. Pair them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. These crepes make for a delightful breakfast option alongside a freshly brewed cup of coffee or as a show-stopping dessert at your next dinner party. Enjoy the burst of citrusy goodness in every bite! 🍴🍊
