Crepes Suzette

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g plain flour
  • pinch salt
  • 1 egg
  • 300 ml milk
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter melted plus extra to fry
  • ice cream to serve
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 35 g unsalted butter
  • 150 ml orange juice
  • 1 orange zested
  • 3 tbsp grand marnier or cointreau
  • 2 tbsp brandy

Method
 

  1. Place first six ingredients in a food processor and whiz until combined and mixture forms a smooth batter. Pour into a jug and let sit for 30 minutes. Heat a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully brush the pan with a little melted butter. Tilting the pan slightly, pour in enough batter (about 2-3 tablespoons) to just cover the base. Cook for 1-2 minutes until base of the crepe is lightly browned.
  2. Carefully flip the crepe to brown the other side. Transfer to a plate and repeat until batter is used.
  3. To make the sauce, heat sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a frying pan over low heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add butter, increase heat to medium and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Add orange juice and zest and simmer for a few minutes. Pour in liqueur and brandy and stir to combine. Dip a crepe into the sauce, then fold it into quarters and place on a serving plate. (We folded the crepes and sat them in the sauce spooning it over the crepes until it had warmed through)
  4. Repeat with remaining crepes, serving 2 per person. Serve with ice-cream and cream.
