Ingredients



For the crêpes suzette:1 medium orange, grated zest only and 1 tbsp caster sugar mixed into the batterFor the sauce:150ml/5fl oz orange juice (from 3-4 medium oranges)1 medium orange, grated zest only1 small lemon, grated rind and juice1 tbsp caster sugar3 tbsp Grand Marnier, Cointreau or brandy50g/2oz unsalted buttera little extra Grand Marnier, for flaming



Method



These little crêpes should be thinner than the basic pancakes, so when you' re making them, use only 1½ tbsp of batter at a time in a 18cm/7in pan. Use the batter recipe from Basic pancakes recipe. If the pancakes look a little bit ragged in the pan, no matter because they are going to be folded anyway. You should end up with 15-16 crêpes.For the sauce, mix all the ingredients - with the exception of the butter - in a bowl. At the same time warm the plates on which the crêpes are going to be served. Now melt the butter in the frying pan, pour in the sauce and allow it to heat very gently. Then place the first crêpes in the pan and give it time to warm through before folding it in half and then in half again to make a triangular shape. Slide this onto the very edge of the pan, tilt the pan slightly so the sauce runs back into the centre, then add the next crêpe. Continue like this until they' re all re-heated, folded and well soaked with the sauce.You can flame them at this point if you like. Heat a ladle by holding it over a gas flame or by resting it on the edge of a hotplate, then, away from the heat, pour a little liqueur or brandy into it, return it to the heat to warm the spirit, then set light to it. Carry the flaming ladle to the table over the pan and pour the flames over the crêpes before serving on the warmed plates.
