Crepes with Orange Sauce

Crepes with Orange Sauce

A simplified version of the famous French crepes. A simple recipe for a delightful lunch or second breakfast.

Ingredients:

  • 4 crepes
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 orange
  • optionally: 1 tablespoon orange liqueur
  • for serving: whipped cream / yogurt / sweetened cheese / orange segments / fruits

Preparation:

  1. Prepare the crepes. Optionally, after frying, you can fill the crepes with cottage cheese and roll them into triangles.
  2. Heat a frying pan, sprinkle sugar into it, add the juice from half of the orange, and after a moment, add the butter. Mix (using a silicone spatula) and wait until the syrup begins to lightly simmer.
  3. Immediately place 4 crepes (folded into triangles) into the pan, reduce the heat, and sauté briefly.
  4. Flip the crepes to the other side. Drizzle them with orange juice and optionally sprinkle lightly with brown sugar, sauté for a while longer.
  5. For those interested, you can pour orange liqueur (up to 1 tablespoon) into the pan from the side and – gently tilting the pan – carefully ignite (note, the flame will be vigorous and high!)
  6. Serve on plates and accompany with your favorite toppings.
