🥞INGREDIENTS
FOR THE CREPES:
2 eggs
140g all-purpose flour
290ml whole milk
45g butter
20g sugar
½ vanilla bean
Zest of ½ orange
FOR THE SAUCE AND FLAMBÉ:
120ml orange juice (about 3 oranges)
Zest of 2 oranges
1 lemon (juice and zest)
170ml Grand Marnier
125g sugar
90g butter
🥞METHOD
1. Place the sifted flour, sugar, a pinch of salt, and milk in a bowl. Mix with a whisk until you obtain a smooth batter.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add them to the batter.
3. Melt the butter over low heat and add it to the mixture, together with the grated zest of half an orange.
4. Cover with plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
5. Heat a non-stick pan, pour in a ladleful of batter, and cook the crepes on both sides. Fold them into quarters to create a fan shape.
6. Prepare the sauce: grate the orange and lemon zest, then squeeze and strain the juices.
7. In a pan, melt the butter with the sugar over low heat, then add the citrus zests and strained juices.
8. Dip the crepes into the hot sauce to let them absorb the flavors.
9. Warm the Grand Marnier in a small saucepan, pour it into the pan with the crepes, and flambé.
10. Serve the crepes warm with their fragrant sauce and, if desired, a chocolate ganache.
