Instructions
Sweet Crepes Preparation
- Blend all crepe ingredients together for about 10 seconds, then chill the batter in the refrigerator for one hour. This resting step lets air bubbles settle, ensuring tender, tear-free crepes. Refrigerate up to 48 hours for convenience.
- Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly butter it. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center, tilting to spread evenly. Cook 30 seconds, flip, cook 10 more seconds, then transfer to a cutting board to cool flat. Repeat with remaining batter. Stack cooled crepes, refrigerate for days, or freeze up to two monthsthaw on a rack before use.
Making the Crepes Suzette
- Fold each crepe in half twice into a neat triangle.
- In a non-stick pan over medium heat, melt half the softened butter. Off the heat, stir in 2 ounces liqueur and 2 tablespoons sugar for a safe, flavorful sauce.
- Use tongs to add crepes, turning to coat in the luscious sauce.
- Arrange on plates, top with vanilla ice cream scoops, drizzle remaining sauce, and serve immediately for a warm-cool delight that wows every time!
