Method
Making the batter
- Place the flour, 3 egg yolks, 1 egg white, the salt, melted butter, crème fraîche, Cointreau and two-thirds of the milk into a bowl; whisk until very smooth and let rest for two hours.
- Add the rest of the milk and the two remaining egg whites, beaten, just before cooking the crêpes to achieve the desired consistency.
Making the filling
- Meanwhile, crumble 12 of the macaroons.
- Moisten with the Cointreau; mix into the orange marmalade.
Cooking and finishing
- Heat 20 g of butter in a skillet; cook the remaining 12 macaroons, finely crumbled, until lightly coloured; add to the crêpe batter;
- in another pan, melt the 20 g of butter; pour in a spoonful of batter, just enough to make a crêpe thick enough to be sautéed. Keep warm in the oven, covered with a piece of aluminum foil;
- spread each crêpe with the filling; roll up and place on a serving platter;
- sprinkle with icing sugar and serve immediately.
