Crepes With Orange Zest And Chocolate Recipes

ORIGINAL FRENCH CRêPES SUZETTE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a big bowl, vigorously whisk the flour, milk, water, eggs, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, orange juice, orange zest, and salt until the batter is completely smooth. Allow the batter to rest in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before making the crêpes.
• Use some of the remaining melted butter to grease a crêpe pan , large skillet, or nonstick skillet. Heat up over low-medium heat.
• Add 3 tablespoons of batter to the pan and swirl it until the bottom of the pan is covered with batter.
• Cook the crêpe for 1 minute, or until the crêpe is slightly moist on top and golden underneath.
• Loosen the edges of the crêpe, slide a spatula under it, and then gently flip it. If you don't have a spatula, use your fingers, a fork, or carefully flip it in the air using just the pan.
• Cook for 1 minute and transfer the cooked crêpe to a plate to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan with melted butter every time. Set aside.
• In a large skillet set over medium heat, melt half of the butter until it foams.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle half of the sugar over the melted butter.
• Carefully add half of the orange liqueur. The mixture will ignite.
• When the flame goes out, add each crêpe to the pan to coat both sides in the orange syrup.
• Fold the crêpes into quarters or roll them up.
• Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet, remove it from the heat, and add the remaining sugar and Grand Marnier.
• For serving, place 1 or 2 crêpes per person on a plate, top with a scoop of ice cream, and drizzle with orange syrup. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy.

BASIC CREPES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
• Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.

ORANGE CHOCOLATE ALMOND BUTTER CREPES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Add the flour mixture in thirds, whisking until smooth after each addition. Knead 1 squeeze pack of Justin's® Maple Almond Butter in your hands until softened, then add half of the squeeze pack to the crepe batter and whisk until totally smooth. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of orange zest. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and grease lightly with nonstick spray. Add ¼ cup of the crepe batter, tilting the pan until the batter coats the bottom evenly. Cook for 1 minute, until bubbles appear on the surface, then carefully flip and cook for another 30 seconds, until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the crepe from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter to make 4 crepes total.
• Use a sieve to dust a crepe evenly with cocoa powder. Fold in half, then in half again, to create a triangle. Repeat with the remaining crepes.
• Arrange each crepe on a plate and drizzle with the remaining 1½ squeeze packs of Justin's® Maple Almond Butter (run the squeeze packs under warm water if the consistency is too thick to drizzle) and sprinkle with the remaining ½ teaspoon orange zest. Garnish with the orange slices.
• Enjoy!
