Crêpes Suzette
French crêpes warmed in caramelised orange-butter sauce and flambéed with Grand Marnier.
About Crêpes Suzette
Crêpes Suzette are a French dessert of thin crêpes served in warm orange butter sauce. This profile follows a Grand Marnier version in which citrus-scented crêpes are folded into caramelised butter, sugar and orange juice before flambéing.
Orange juice and zest give the sauce bright acidity and fragrant bitterness, balanced by caramelised sugar and rich butter. Grand Marnier reinforces the orange aroma with a warm liqueur finish, while the crêpes remain gently milky and egg-rich.
The crêpes are folded into neat quarters and glazed with a glossy amber-orange sauce. Their edges are tender and lightly browned, with narrow strips of orange peel visible around the folds.
