Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, crack open the 3 large eggs and add 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
Gradually pour in a small portion of the 500 milliliters of milk while mixing. Then, sift in 220 grams of all-purpose flour to avoid lumps. Stir until you achieve a thick batter.
Slowly incorporate the remaining milk into the batter, whisking thoroughly. Finally, add 50 grams of melted butter and mix until smooth.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, swirling it to create a thin layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side until lightly golden, then flip and cook the other side.
Repeat the process for the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate and covering them to keep warm.
While the crepes are cooking, prepare the sauce by zesting the peel of 2 oranges and squeezing their juice into a separate bowl.
In a saucepan, melt 50 grams of butter over low heat and stir in 2.5 tablespoons of sugar along with the orange zest. Be careful not to let the sugar burn.
Once the sugar is melted, pour in the orange juice and let the mixture simmer, stirring constantly until it slightly thickens.
Reduce the heat to low and fold the cooked crepes into triangles, arranging them in the sauce. Allow them to soak in the sauce for a few minutes.
Serve the Crepes Suzette warm, with a scoop of ice cream on the side for a delightful finish!

A zester or grater is needed to finely grate the orange peel, enhancing the sauce's flavor. Avoid the white pith, as it can make your sauce bitter.

Variations
Gluten-Free and Vegan Variations: Looking to make this dessert accessible for everyone? No problem! ❤️ For a gluten-free version, simply swap regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. You'll still enjoy the delicious texture!
Want a vegan option? Substitute the eggs with a mix of ground flaxseed and water (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water = 1 egg). Use almond milk or any plant-based milk in place of regular milk, and replace the butter with coconut oil or vegan margarine. Your friends won't even notice the difference! 🌱🥞
Faq
- What is the best way to avoid tearing the crêpes?
One of the secrets is to let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking, allowing the gluten to relax. Also, be gentle when flipping!
- How do I know when the crêpes are ready to flip?
The crêpes are ready to flip when the edges are lightly browned, and the surface appears set but slightly shiny. It's usually around 1-2 minutes on each side!
- Can I prepare the sauce ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the orange sauce a few hours in advance. Just warm it gently before serving to refresh the flavors.
- What should I do if my batter is too thick?
If your batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Can I freeze the crêpes?
Absolutely! You can stack cooked crêpes with parchment paper in between and wrap them tightly. They can last in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- What other fillings can I use for crêpes?
Feel free to experiment! Nutella, fresh fruits, or even savory fillings like cheese and spinach will create delicious variations.
