Crêpe batter

- A pinch of salt
- 100 g (3 1/2 oz.) melted browned butter
Orange butter (make at the last moment)
- 225 (8 oz.) butter
- 300 g (10 oz.) sugar
- Juice of 2 oranges
- Lemon juice
- A splash of Grand Marnier
Zest
- Zest of 3 oranges
- 150 ml (10 tbsp.) grenadine
Method
Preparation of the crêpes
- Mix the eggs with the flour and salt and gradually whisk in the milk. Put through a strainer: the mixture must be smooth.
- Let the batter rest for 2 to 3 hours.
Preparation of the orange butter
- Cook the sugar and butter to a light caramel stage. It should be nicely golden. When it is ready, pour it into a blender.
- Blend with the fruit juice and Grand Marnier.
- Mix for two minutes to blend in the butter.
- Remove from the blender and keep at room temperature.
- Remove the zest from the oranges with a vegetable peeler and cut into thin julienne strips.
- Blanch twice in boiling water. Let cool and then drain.
- Place the zest and 150 ml grenadine in a saucepan over high heat. Stir frequently until all the grenadine has evaporated.
Crêpes "Suzette"
- Spread the crêpes (2 to 3 per person) on a work surface.
- Using a brush, spread the orange butter on both sides of the crêpes. Fold in half.
- When all the crêpes are done, place them in an oven-proof pan.
- Spread the rest of the orange butter over top and sprinkle with the orange zest.
Assembly
- In a hot oven, heat the crêpes until the edges become slightly crispy.
- Arrange them immediately on warm plates. Serve immediately.
