Follow The Directions

01

Step

Gather all ingredients.

02

Step

To make the crêpes: Combine milk, water, eggs, sugar, and salt in a blender; blend on medium speed until smooth, about 10 seconds. Add flour and blend until smooth, about 5 more seconds. Add 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and orange zest; pulse until incorporated, about 3 (1-second) pulses. Cover blender and place in refrigerator; let rest for 15 minutes.

03

Step

Remove crêpe batter from fridge. Heat a 6-inch nonstick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the melted butter and swirl to coat skillet.

04

Step

Add 2 tablespoons batter and swirl to coat bottom of skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until the bottom is lightly golden, and the top is still a little moist, about 1 minute.

05

Step

Swirl skillet to loosen crêpe and gently flip with a spatula and your fingers. Cook until golden, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining butter and batter.

06

Step

To make the orange sauce: Combine orange juice, white sugar, and orange zest in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until sugar is dissolved and the liquid starts to bubble, 3 to 4 minutes. Gradually add butter, piece by piece, stirring constantly, until it is melted and fully incorporated. Let sauce come back up to a simmer and let simmer until slightly syrupy, stirring occasionally, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in orange liqueur and salt. Remove from the heat.

07

Step

Fold each crêpe in half, then half again to make a triangle. Dip the folded crêpes into the hot orange sauce.

08

Step

Place on a serving platter. Repeat with remaining crêpes, overlapping each crêpe so they are facing the same direction.

09

Step

To serve, pour orange liqueur into the skillet with the remaining orange sauce and place over medium-high. If it does not ignite automatically, use a long-stemmed lighter and carefully set the liqueur on fire. Let it burn for about 30 seconds.

10

Step

Pour the flaming liqueur over the crêpes on the platter and serve immediately with ice cream.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the crêpe batter.
The crêpes can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator, layered between sheets of parchment paper, for up to 2 days.
When flambéing, ensure you have adequate ventilation and keep a safe distance from flammable objects.
Serve immediately after flambéing for the most dramatic presentation.
