BLOOD ORANGE CREPES SUZETTE
ACCREDITATION: Devan Rajkumar
Directions
- In a mixing bowl whisk two whole eggs, then add milk, Sunkist® Blood orange zest, vanilla extract and salt.
- Incorporate sifted flour in parts into the egg mixture, whisking into a smooth crepe batter
- Brush a large skillet on low-medium heat with butter. Add batter and swirl to thinly form a crepe on the pan.
- When the crepe starts to separate from the edges, it is ready to flip.
- Flip and cook on the other side, ensuring not to get too much colour on the crepes. Set aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Using the same skillet, simmer Sunkist® Blood orange juice, Blood orange zest, Blood orange segments, butter and sugar. Let the liquid in the pan reduce by half and thicken to form a Blood orange syrup.
- OPTIONAL: Remove from the heat and add Grand Marnier or Cognac.
- Option 1: Light with a match, then approach the hot syrup, igniting carefully. Flames will appear, burning off the alcohol. Once the alcohol has burned off, the flames will disappear.
- Option 2: Simmer the glaze for about 4-5 minutes until the alcohol cooks off and then add the crepes in.
*Use caution when pouring alcohol into pan. Tilting the pan may cause alcohol to spark and ignite so keep pan upright and pour carefully. - Place the crepes in, allowing them to soak, basting with the Blood orange syrup.
- Fold the crepes into quarters. Spoon the remaining Blood orange syrup over the crepes and dress with Blood orange segments and Blood orange zest.
