Crepe Suzette

Crepe Suzette

Recipe by Trish yee
In my culinary explorations, Crepe Suzette holds a cherished spot as a dish that exudes both elegance and flair. As I whip up this classic French delight, memories of swirling pans and the aroma of caramelized sugar fill my kitchen. Imagine delicate crepes, thin as a whisper, adorned with a luscious orange-infused sauce that's set ablaze for a touch of drama. Each bite is a dance of textures – the tender crepe, the burst of citrus, and the indulgent caramel. Served warm and decadent, Crepe Suzette isn't just a dessert – it's a piece of culinary theatre and a tribute to the pleasures of taste and presentation. Whether enjoyed with a flourish at a celebratory dinner or savored on a leisurely afternoon, this dish promises to transport you to the heart of a French bistro, offering a taste of sophistication and a dash of culinary spectacle in every sumptuous bite.

Ingredients
  

Batter:

  • 150 g Plain Flour
  • 3 Eggs
  • 375 ml Milk
  • 75 g Butter Melted
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 50 g Butter Extra for Greasing Pan

Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp caster sugar
  • 100 ml freshly squeezed orange juice 2 oranges
  • zest 1 orange
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 50 g unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bow, incorporate the flour and eggs one and a time then, slowly splash the milk and whisk until smooth.
  • Whisk through your melted butter and pinch of salt.
  • Sieve and/or knock the mixture to ensure they are no lumps and it is bubble free.
  • In a large flat fry pan on medium high, melt a little butter at the bottom, then ladle in a large spoon of batter. Flip/toss until golden coloured.
  • To make the sauce, heat sugar and orange juice in a frypan until dissolved and let it bubble for a few minutes. Then add in cold diced butter.
  • Serve your crepes with sauce.

SAUCE

  • Add the caster sugar into a non-stick frying pan and set the pan over a low-medium heat. Allow the sugar to melt slowly without stirring and continue to cook until it becomes a deep amber-coloured caramel.
  • Immediately add the orange juice – be careful as it may splatter and spit as it hits the hot caramel. Add the orange zest and return the pan to a low heat to re-melt the caramel into the liquid.
