What you need
- for the crepes
- 2 large eggs
- 300 ml milk
- 25 g caster sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 100 g plain flour
- 6 tsp vegetable oil for frying
- for the sauce
- 75 g butter
- 75 g caster sugar
- finely grated rind and juice of 1 orange
- finely grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
- 5 tsp grand marnier
- 5 tsp cognac
- 5 tsp brandy
Method
In a jug, beat the eggs and milk together. Stir in the sugar and salt. Sift the flour into a bowl. Make a well in the centre then whisk in the egg mixture, a little at a time, until all is incorporated and smooth.
Heat a little oil in the base of an 18 cm heavy based frying pan, pouring out any excess. Pour in just enough batter to cover the base and tilt until evenly spread. Cook for 1-2 min or until the underside is golden. Then flip over and continue on the other side.
Stack the cooked pancakes on a serving plate interleaved with greaseproof paper. Keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter to make the rest of the pancakes.
Place the butter in a saucepan and heat gently for 1-2 min or until melted.
Stir in the sugar and cook for 2 min or until melted.
Stir in the orange and lemon rind and juice, and Grand Marnier. Heat gently for 1 min.
Dip each crepe in the sauce to coat. Fold each into four to form a fan shape. Arrange the folded up crepes in the pan overlapping slightly and simmer for 1 min.
Gently heat the cognac before carefully pouring over the crepes. Set alight with a lit taper. Shake gently and serve immediately.
