Crêpes
1 cup plain flour
1 cup milk
1 egg
pinch salt
swig of olive oil
Sauce
Butter
Sugar
Fresh orange juice [bottled orange juice is not right]
cognac optional
Roasted almond slivers
Roast them yourself in a dry frypan before preparing the sauce
Method
Combine ingredients until a smooth and runny batter is achieved.
Let the bowl sit for half an hour before making the crêpes.
Here's some I prepared earlier, ready for sauce |
Cook the whole batch.
As each one is made remove it from the pan and fold twice for storage.
Sauce
Melt a tbsp of butter and a dessertspoon of sugar into the warmed frying pan. When starting to sizzle add half a cup of orange juice.
Reduce the sauce but before it gets caramelised add three crepes per person. Leave them folded up – you can fit more in the pan and they’re easier to turn over [with tongs].
Heat the crepes in the sauce so that they are ready by the time the sauce is starting to caramelise.
Option: Flambé the crêpes with cognac before serving, in the sauce for a slight caramel - careful with your eyebrows
Top with roasted almond slivers.
Serve hot.
