Crepes Suzette

Yay so I am finally gonna post step-by-step photos for each recipe. My husband and I have moved to a bigger flat and now I can actually take pictures in the kitchen. This is one of my favorite breakfast recipes, and so totally easy.

You need: 1 cup of flour, 2 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, a few oranges (juiced), a cup sugar and a stick of butter.




 First, mix the flour and a quarter cup of sugar.

 Then add in the milk.

 Whisk and whisk till it's smooth and there are no lumps.


 Add the eggs.

 Then whisk some more! I used 3 eggs because they were small.

 Whisk till smooth, the batter will be quite runny.

Now to make the saucy goodness. Melt the butter in a pot with the rest of the sugar.

Add the orange juice and some water (not shown oops). You will only need about half a cup of water or so, depending on how orangey your oranges are. You're basically making orange sugar syrup.

Let this boil and reduce. You want syrup, not very thick but let this boil while you make the crepes.
Add 1 ladle of batter and swirl it around (my husband forgot to take photos, sorry).

Let it cook for about 2 mins on each side. You should turn it over when it looks like this:

I usually fold them in 4 and arrange on a platter then pour the sauce over. (Again, sorry this isn't shown, I'll get better at this!!)

And then....
You eat it!!!
It's smooth and sweet and perfect. I didn't add much sugar to the crepes because the sauce is so sweet, but feel free to change the amount of sugar.
