Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 oranges, juiced

1 tablespoon orange zest

1/4 cup Grand Marnier

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add salt and melted butter; beat until smooth.

2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crêpe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.

3. Cook the crêpe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn, and cook the other side.

4. For the sauce, melt 1/2 cup butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in sugar, orange juice, and zest. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes.

5. To flambé, add the Grand Marnier to the skillet. Carefully ignite the liquor using a long match. Let the flames subside.

6. Fold each crêpe into quarters and place into the sauce to coat. Serve immediately.

Storage

Store the crêpes and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Reheating
