Grand Marnier Crepes Food

GRAND MARNIER CREPE SOUFFLE

Steps:

• For the crepes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk together the eggs, butter, heavy cream, sugar, orange liqueur and orange zest in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in both flours until incorporated and a pourable batter forms. Let the batter rest at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Heat a 9-inch nonstick crepe pan over medium heat, then add a thin layer of batter (about 1 cup). Spread around the pan to cover. Cook until the top is dry and edges begin to curl up, about 1 minute. Flip and cook another minute. Repeat to make additional crepes using all the batter. Set aside.
• For the souffle batter: Combine the heavy cream, butter, orange liqueur, flour, brown sugar and orange zest in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes, then remove from the heat. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk the egg yolks into the warm mixture in a steady stream. Set aside.
• Place the egg whites in a stand mixer and beat to soft peaks using the whisk attachment. Fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites.
• Place a crepe on a parchment paper-lined rimmed sheet tray. Spoon a 4-ounce ladle of souffle batter in the middle. Fold in half, like a taco. Repeat with the remaining crepes and souffle batter. Bake until the souffle filling puffs up a little, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle with orange zest.

CRêPES SUZETTE

Steps:

• Prepare pancakes following the classic recipe - see 'Goes well with'. Fold the pancakes into quarters.
• Tip the caster sugar into a non-stick frying pan and set the pan over a low-medium heat. Allow the sugar to melt slowly without stirring and continue to cook until it becomes a deep amber-coloured caramel.
• Immediately slide the pan off the heat and add the orange juice - be careful as it may splatter and spit as it hits the hot caramel. Add the orange zest, lemon juice, the Grand Marnier and return the pan to a low heat to re-melt the caramel into the liquid.
• Add the butter to the sauce in small pieces, bring to the boil and simmer gently until glossy and reduced slightly. Add the pancakes to the pan and warm through. Serve immediately.

CREPES SUZETTE WITH GRAND MARNIER

Steps:

• Combine eggs, milk, water, salt, vanilla, and 3 Tablespoons melted butter in a blender and pulse until foamy, about 30 seconds.
• Add flour and sugar and pulse until smooth.
• Refrigerate the batter for 30 minutes or overnight.
• When ready to prepare your crepes, heat 1 Tablespoon of butter in a crepe pan or other shallow frying pan. Ensure that the butter has coated the entire surface of the pan before adding 1/4 cup of crepe batter and swirling to cover the surface of the pan.
• Cook crepes one minute, flip carefully, and then cook other side for half a minute. (The edges will start to crisp and turn up slightly, but the surface won't get as bubbly as pancakes.)
• Repeat this process with remaining batter.
• Place a frying pan over low heat and add the butter and sugar.
• Stir occasionally, until sugar begins to dissolve. Increase the heat to medium and allow the mixture to bubble and caramelize. Add the orange juice and zest, allowing the mixture to thicken, and then add the Grand Marnier.
• If you want to flambe, tilt the pan to the flame on gas - or take a long-necked kitchen lighter to the pan if using electric. Be prepared to extinguish the flame with the lid or by taking the pan off the heat.
• Remove sauce from heat and pour over the crepes (or add the crepes to the pan).

ORIGINAL FRENCH CRêPES SUZETTE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a big bowl, vigorously whisk the flour, milk, water, eggs, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, orange juice, orange zest, and salt until the batter is completely smooth. Allow the batter to rest in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before making the crêpes.
• Use some of the remaining melted butter to grease a crêpe pan , large skillet, or nonstick skillet. Heat up over low-medium heat.
• Add 3 tablespoons of batter to the pan and swirl it until the bottom of the pan is covered with batter.
• Cook the crêpe for 1 minute, or until the crêpe is slightly moist on top and golden underneath.
• Loosen the edges of the crêpe, slide a spatula under it, and then gently flip it. If you don't have a spatula, use your fingers, a fork, or carefully flip it in the air using just the pan.
• Cook for 1 minute and transfer the cooked crêpe to a plate to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan with melted butter every time. Set aside.
• In a large skillet set over medium heat, melt half of the butter until it foams.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle half of the sugar over the melted butter.
• Carefully add half of the orange liqueur. The mixture will ignite.
• When the flame goes out, add each crêpe to the pan to coat both sides in the orange syrup.
• Fold the crêpes into quarters or roll them up.
• Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet, remove it from the heat, and add the remaining sugar and Grand Marnier.
• For serving, place 1 or 2 crêpes per person on a plate, top with a scoop of ice cream, and drizzle with orange syrup. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy.

GRAND MARNIER CREPES

Steps:

• Put all ingredients except melted butter into a blender or food processor. Blend on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Drizzle in melted butter as you continue to blend for another minute or two. Refrigerate overnight. Blend for about 1 minute to remix the batter and strain through a sieve to remove any lumps. Coat a cast iron griddle lightly with melted butter or canola oil and heat over medium high heat until water drops sizzle when added to the skillet. Remove the griddle from heat and pour ¼ cup batter into the center. Quickly rotate the pan to spread the batter thinly around. (I actually shook mine hard until the batter was evenly distributed). Return to heat and cook until golden brown on the bottom. Use a spatula to loosen the edges. Then turn crepe over and cook other side until lightly browned. Stack crepes on a plate and let cool 10 minutes before filling. For Lemon Sugar Crepes fold crepes in fourths and place on serving plate. Sprinkle top with powdered sugar and serve with a lemon wedge. For Raspberry Chocolate CrepesTop with fresh raspberries and chocolate sauce.

CRêPES SUZETTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the caster sugar evenly over the whole surface of the frying pan and heat.
• Once the sugar melts add the butter and mix - this will change colour very quickly (do not let it burn).
• First, add the juice of a lemon and then the peel. Add a small amount of the syrup into the caramel and stir again, be quick and don't let it burn (don't worry about hard sugar stuck to the bottom of the pan, this will melt again during the cooking process).
• Once these ingredients are bubbling nicely and beginning to thicken, add the orange juice and stir.Simmer down by ¼ until starting to thicken again (quick tip - run the back of a spoon across the bottom of the pan and once the spoon leaves a trail in the sauce behind it, the sauce is thick enough).
• Add the pancakes, unfolding by half, turning and re-folding in the sauce so they're nicely covered.
• Move the pancakes to the edge of the pan closest to you, tilt the pan towards yourself and spoon the excess sauce over the pancakes, leaving the furthest ½ of the pan dry.
• Set the pan back on the heat and carefully add the Grand Marnier to the furthest, dry ½ of the pan.
• Carefully pull the pan towards you and tilt away to expose the alcohol to the open flame.
• Once the Grand Marnier is lit, put the pan down, moving the pan back and forth to help the alcohol burn off, otherwise, the final result will be too overly alcoholic.
• Once all the alcohol has burnt off and the flame is out, remove from the heat and place the pancake on a plate and then stir and spoon over the sauce.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream.
