Ingredients

Crepes batter

125 g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
250 ml (1 cup) milk
2 eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
25 g (2 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 pinch salt
Zest of 1/2 orange
1 tbsp orange blossom water or orange juice

Orange butter sauce (Suzette)

200 ml (3/4 cup) fresh orange juice, about 2 oranges
Zest of 1 orange
20 ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice plus a little zest
50 g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
25 g (2 tbsp) unsalted butter

Instructions

Add the flour, sugar, salt, orange zest, and orange blossom water to a large bowl and make a well in the center.
Add the eggs and start whisking, slowly pouring in the milk until you get a smooth crêpe batter.
Blend briefly with a hand blender if needed to remove any lumps.
Heat a lightly buttered crêpe pan and cook the crêpes for about 1–2 minutes per side. Set aside.
Place the butter, sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, and zests in a large skillet.
Cook over medium heat for about 8–10 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
Add one crêpe to the pan, let it soak briefly, then fold into quarters and transfer to a plate.
Repeat with the remaining crêpes, pour the remaining sauce over the top, and garnish with orange zest.
