Lemon and Raspberry Crêpes

Ingredients

Makes 6 crepes
Prep time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Lemon and Raspberry Crêpes

2 large oranges

1/2 stick of unsalted butter

4 tbsp of caster sugar

1 1/4 cup of plain flour

4 eggs

1 tbsp of Grand Marnier

1 1/2 tsp dark rum

4 tbsp of whole milk

3 tbsp of corn oil

2 tbsp icing sugar

2 pints of  raspberries

Sauce Suzette

7 oz of caster sugar

4 tbsp of water

4 tbsp of lemon juice

Crêpes

Finely grate the zest of both oranges. Melt the butter in a pan on a medium heat until a light brown.

In a mixing bowl, stir together the eggs, 3 tbsp of caster sugar, flour, orange zest, Grand Marnier, rum, milk and the melted butter. Put in the fridge and rest for an hour.

Sauce Suzette

While the batter is resting, make the sauce Suzette. Heat caster sugar in a pan until golden. Deglaze with water and lemon juice and set aside.

Wash and slice the raspberries. Cook the crêpes in a small non-stick pan that has been brushed with the corn oil. Sprinkle on some icing sugar when cooked.

Fold each crêpe into a wallet shape and add raspberries to the top. Drizzle some sauce Suzette on each.
