Instructions

Making the crepe batter

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until pale.
Get a bowl ready with the flour, and a measuring cup with the milk.
Start gradually adding the flour to the egg-sugar mixture using a whisk. Mix until there are no lumps, then add more flour.
Once the mixture becomes too thick to stir, add a little milk.
Repeat this process until all the milk and flour have been incorporated.
Add the orange blossom water and whisk a few more times to combine thoroughly.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

Preparing the filling

Place a small skillet on a scale, and add the muscovado sugar and butter.
Squeeze the oranges and add the juice to the skillet.
Simmer the sauce for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.

Cooking pancakes

Cook the pancakes however you like best:
- by letting the batter spread on its own in a nonstick pan,
- or by spreading it with a rozell, if you’re using a billig or a cast-iron griddle. This method will give you crêpes that are both thin and pliable.

Assembly and service

When ready to serve, place each crepe in a skillet over medium heat (or on your griddle, if you have one).
Spoon the Suzette sauce over the crepe using a tbsp, spreading it with the back of the spoon.
Flip the crepe over and cook the other side the same way.
Fold the crepe in half, then serve it hot and shiny 🤩😋

Notes

WHAT TO SERVE WITH THESE CRÊPES SUZETTE? These crêpes Suzette are delicious on their own, but you can also sprinkle them with toasted almonds or hazelnuts to add a little crunch. And for those with a sweet tooth, you can of course serve these crêpes Suzette with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.
