Ingredients
  

For the Crêpe

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 2 tablespoons 50g melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons of rhum (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons of orange juice (as an alternative to rhum)
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of canola oil or butter to grease the pan

For the Syrup

  • 3/4 cup of Grand Marnier (optional)
  • 1 cup of orange juice (as an alternative to Grand Marnier)
  • 1 lemon (with the orange juice, as an alternative to Grand Marnier)
  • 100 g in butter
  • 3 tablespoons of sugar
  • 1 sachet of vanilla sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix together the flour, milk, eggs, butter, rhum (or orange juice), and salt.
  • Whisk vigorously until the batter is completely smooth.
  • Let the mixture rest for at least 15 minutes in the fridge.
  • At medium heat, grease the skillet with the canola oil.
  • Scoop a portion of the mixture into the skillet to cook the crêpe, flipping it over with a spatula to each side after 1-2 minutes. Remove from skillet when golden brown.
  • Repeat with the remaining mixture to make the rest of the crêpes (should be 4-6 crêpes in total).
  • Fold the crêpes and place them in individual serving plates.
  • To make the syrup, heat the butter and sugar in a saucepan.
  • Lower the heat and mix in the Grand Marnier into the saucepan so that it warms lightly.
  • (Alternative to step 9: Lower the heat and add in the orange juice, lemon juice, and some lemon zest to the saucepan, so that it warms lightly.)
  • Pour the syrup onto each crêpe and serve to guests.
  • (Optional) With a long matchstick, light the Grand Marnier to lightly flambée, taking care not to burn yourself.

Notes

This recipe should make around 4-6 crêpes. Please adjust quantities for additional servings.
