Here’s a delicious dessert to impress, serve with delicious Orange and Maple Syrup Sauce. Crepes may be pre-made and frozen. If freezing, place a sheet of grease proof paper between each crepe, when cold wrap tightly in cling film and freeze. To serve, thaw and heat for a few seconds in the microwave, fold and cover with the hot Maple and Orange Sauce. Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
2 eggs |
300 ml milk |
1/2 cup maple syrup |
25 g butter |
1 orange, grated zest (of 1 orange) |
1/2 cup orange juice |
2 tablespoons brandy (optional) |
Directions:
1. Crepes:.
2. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl, make a well in the centre and add eggs and milk, beating together until smooth.
3. Pour into a jug and stand for 30 minutes.
4. Heat a small crêpe or frying pan and brush with a little melted butter.
5. Tilt the pan slightly and pour in enough batter to just cover the base and cook for 1-2 minutes over medium heat until the surface of the crêpe starts to ‘dry out’.
6. Carefully flip the crêpe to brown the other side and transfer to a plate. Place a layer of greaseproof paper between each crêpe to stop them sticking together.
7. Maple and Orange Sauce:.
8. In a saucepan heat the maple syrup, butter, orange zest and juice and bring to a boil and continue cooking until the sauce is reduced by one third.
9. Then remove the pot from the heat and stir in the brandy.
10. To serve, fold the crêpes into quarters and place on a serving platter, pour the syrup over the sauce and serve with ice cream.
