Suggested Recipes
-
3 tbsp (45 mL) granulated sugar
2 tbsp (25 mL) unsalted butter
2 tsp (10 mL) grated orange rind
1/3 cup (75 mL) orange juice
3 tbsp (45 mL) orange-flavoured liqueur
Crêpes:
1/2 cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup (75 mL) milk
1/3 cup (75 mL) water (approx)
2 tbsp (25 mL) unsalted butter, melted
Preparation:
Heat 8-inch (20 cm) cr? pan or skillet over medium-low heat; brush lightly with some of the remaining butter. For each cr?, pour scant 1/4 cup (50 mL) batter into centre of pan, swirling to coat pan; pour out excess batter. Cook, turning once, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to plate; round off edge of cr? where batter was poured off. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper and wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze in airtight container for up to 1 month.)
In large skillet, melt sugar with butter over medium heat. Add orange rind, orange juice and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the orange liqueur; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute.
Add 1 cr? to skillet, turning to coat. Using tongs, fold cr? into quarters; move to side of skillet. Repeat with remaining cr?s, overlapping around edge of pan. Drizzle with remaining liqueur. Remove from heat and ignite pan. When flame subsides, serve cr?s.
