- Directions:
-
- Prepare the Crepe Batter:
Sift the flour into a bowl, add the eggs and 3-4 tablespoons of the milk and mix well.
Gradually stir in the remaining milk to make a fairly runny batter.
Melt the butter in a double boiler in a heat proof bowl over a pan of simmering water, leave to cool almost completely, then add to the batter.
Season with sugar, beat again for a few minutes with a small whisk, then leave to stand for at least 1 hour.
Brush the base of a crepe pan with oil and heat, then pour in 2 tablespoons of the batter.
Turn and tilt the pan so that the batter covers the base evenly.
Cook for 3-4 minutes until the underside is set and golden brown, then flip over with a spatula and cook the other side for about 2 minutes until golden.
Slide the crepe out of the pan on to a plate.
Make more crepes in the same way until all the batter is used. Makes 12.
Prepare the Crepes:
Cook 12 crepes, stack them, interleaved with greaseproof paper, on a plate and keep warm.
Cream the butter in a bowl, then beat in the sugar, mandarin juice and Curacao.
Spread the crepes with the mixture, fold into four and sprinkle with vanilla sugar.
Place on a serving dish and serve warm. The crepes may also be flambeed after sprinkling with Cointreau or another sweet liqueur. Serves 6.
