Elevate your weekend with zesty citrus crepes.
Ingredients:
  • 250.00 ml plain flour
  • 386.25 gm milk
  • 80g butter, melted
  • 60g butter, chopped
  • 53.75 gm caster sugar
  • 5 large oranges, rind shredded, juiced
  • 1 large lemon, rind shredded, juiced
  • 40.00 ml Cointreau, optional
  • cream or ice-cream, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, sift the flour. In a separate jug, whisk together the milk, eggs, and 3 tablespoons of butter using a fork. Pour this mixture into the flour and whisk until a smooth batter forms. Cover the batter and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat an 18cm (base) crepe pan over medium heat and brush it with butter. Pour 2 tablespoonfuls of batter in the center of the pan, swirl quickly to coat the base, and cook for 2 minutes until golden and lacy. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and cover with a sheet of baking paper.
  • Continue making crepes with the rest of the batter, greasing the pan as needed. Layer the cooked crepes between sheets of baking paper. Allow them to cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Stack the crepes on a large sheet of foil, wrap securely, and bake on a tray for 15 to 20 minutes until heated through.
  • Create a vibrant citrus sauce by melting butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Add sugar, citrus rinds, 1 1/4 cups orange juice, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and optional liqueur. Stir until the sauce is hot and the sugar dissolves.
  • Fold warm crepes into quarters, arrange them on plates, and drizzle generously with 1/3 cup of hot sauce. Enjoy with a dollop of cream or a scoop of ice cream.
