CREPES FLAMBE A L'ORANGE

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb sifted flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 3 eggs
• 2 cup milk
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup orange marmalade
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup grand marnier or any orange liquor
• 1 med orange, cut into thin slices
• 2 tsp sugar

Directions

Put the sifted flour in a large bowl and make a well at the center.
Place the eggs on the center, then beat and mix with the flour. Slowly add the milk, little by little - mix very well.
Add the butter, salt, vanilla and sugar - mix very well. After this, you will have a thin batter. Set aside and let it rest for half an hour.
Cook the crepes like pancakes in a flat non-stick pan. Use a ladle to scoop the batter into the pan, about 1/4 cup portions at a time, or use a measuring cup.
Allow each crepe to cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Use a non-stick spatula to flip the crepe.
When the crepes are cooked, roll them to make long *pipes*, then transfer to a serving dish.
In a small saucepan, mix together the water, sugar, and marmalade over low heat. Simmer and reduce, until you have a thin syrup.
Drizzle the crepes with syrup. Garnish with orange slices.
In another sauce pan, bring the orange liquor to a quick boil, then light with a match to make a flambe. (Caution: Keep face turned away from heat). Pour over the crepes while the flames are still up.

Yield: 6 servings
