Crepes Suzette


For the Batter; whisk with a balloon whisk the following:
  • 1 large egg
  • 100 gr plain flour
  • 400 ml milk
  • pinch of salt
  • 1tbsp oil
You need to have a thin batter, the consistency of single cream, add a little water if too thick, or flout if too thin.

Make 8 pancakes in a clean pan (I have one pan just for pancakes). Pour enough batter to coat the bottom of the pan, cook until sent on one side, turn with a spatula; cook for a few seconds and turn into a pan. Continue with the rest of the batter until it is all used up, you need to end up with at least 8 thin pancakes.

For the filling:
  • juice of one orange
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 20 gr sugar
  • 2 tbsp orange liquor or rum
Melt the butter in a pan and add the rest of the ingredients, heat until the sugar is dissolved.
Place one pancake on the liquid, and fold twice to get a triangle shape. Place the folded pancake in a warm serving dish, or leave it in the pan while you do the rest.
Continue with the other pancakes, coating them with the syrup and folding.
Serve the pancakes warm with a little of the syrup.
