Indulgent French crepes - perfect for dessert or a stunning breakfast dish.
Ingredients:
  • 150g (1 cup) plain flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg white
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) reduced-fat milk (approximately)
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 40.40 gm reduced-fat thickened cream, to serve
  • 10.00 gm cornflour
  • 80g (1/3 cup) caster sugar
  • 310ml (1 1/4 cups) fresh orange juice
  • 42.00 gm fresh lemon juice
  • 20.00 ml Cointreau or orange liqueur
Instructions:
  • In a medium bowl, sieve the flour and create a well in the center. In a large jug, combine eggs, egg white, and milk. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the flour, whisk until the batter is smooth. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • To prepare the citrus sauce, mix cornflour and sugar in a small saucepan. Slowly incorporate orange and lemon juice using a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until it boils (2-3 minutes). Take off the heat, add Cointreau or orange liqueur, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside.
  • Lightly grease a small non-stick crepe pan with melted butter and heat over medium heat. Stir batter and add extra milk if needed until thin and creamy. Pour 2 tablespoons into pan, swirl to coat base, cook for 2 minutes until golden underneath. Flip crepe, cook for 30 seconds until golden underneath. Transfer to plate, cover, repeat with remaining batter to make 12 crepes, greasing pan as needed.
  • Heat sauce in a large frying pan over low heat. Fold crepes into quarters and add to the pan. Cook for 1 minute or until heated through.
  • Serve the crepes and sauce promptly with a side of cream.
