How to make crepes suzette

First of all, prepare the base of the crepes following the procedure found in CREPES.

Then focus on the suzette sauce.

First of all, grate the zest of 3 oranges, taking care to create many thin threads of peel with the zest of half an orange, being careful not to remove the white part, which is the most bitter.

Then squeeze the juice from the oranges and filter it.

Finally, grate the lemon zest, squeeze the lemon juice and filter it through a sieve and add it to the orange juice:

When you have all the ingredients ready, fold the crepes into 4 parts, packing them into segments, as you can see from the photo below.

Finally, in a cast iron or steel pan which is the best for flaming, place the butter together with the sugar and all the grated peels and threads and melt over a low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon. Within 1 minute you will obtain a super fragrant caramelized butter.

At this point, add the citrus juice and cook the sauce over low heat for 2 minutes:

Finally, dip the packaged crepes in the orange sauce, placing them along the pan not against each other, but close to each other, so that they all get flavoured.

Finally, take the stamp and pour in the Grand Marnier liqueur previously heated on the stove.

At this point, hold a kitchen torch and flambé, setting the surface of the cracks on fire: the fire will rise, but don’t worry, this is how it should be.

Be careful when flaming: move your torso and face away from the burners and only reach out with your hand towards the pan. Remember that to turn off the flame just cover your pan with a lid. So it’s important to keep the lid handy.

At this point, set the crepes aside and let the sauce thicken on a high heat for 2 minutes, so that it becomes thicker, then place the crepes back in the pan and serve the Crepe suzette beautiful hot!
