Orange Crepe Batter Recipes

ORANGE-ANISE CREPES

Steps:

• Beat together the eggs, milk, orange juice, anise, and flour until smooth. Refrigerate overnight.
• To cook the crepes, melt a little butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat; brush the butter evenly over the pan. Pour in 1/4 cup of the batter, tilt the pan to distribute the batter evenly. Cook until the batter begins to firm up and bubble, when lightly browned, flip over, and continue cooking until browned on the other side, about 4 minutes total. Repeat with remaining batter. To serve, sprinkle crepes with sugar.

ORANGE CREPES

Steps:

• Crepes.
• Using a blender put all dry ingredients in first.
• Turn on a slow speed and add eggs, and then slowly add milk, orange juice, vanilla, and orange zest.
• Turn up the speed and mix well until smooth and no lumps.
• Put a teaspoon of oil in a hot 8" or 9" pan (use medium setting). Let the oil and pan heat.
• Holding the pan above the burner, pour ¼ cup of batter into center of pan as you rotate the pan to evenly spread the batter all around.
• Cook for about 30 seconds until the bottom is browned in a speckled pattern.
• Flip over and brown the other side.
• Roll up in the pan and put on a plate.
• Repeat with the rest of the batter.
• Sauce.
• Mix ½ cup orange juice and 1 tsp of cornstarch in a bowl. Stir.
• Add to pan and heat until thickened, stirring occasionally.
• Pour over top of crepes.
• Optional: Include other fruits and/or whipped cream.

CREPES SUZETTE WITH ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• FOR THE CREPES: Combine eggs, milk, water, flour, Cognac, sugar, salt and melted butter in a blender until smooth batter forms, about 10 seconds. Transfer batter to medium bowl.
• Using pastry brush, brush bottom and sides of 10-inch nonstick skillet very lightly with melted butter; heat skillet over medium heat. When butter stops sizzling, tilt pan slightly to right and begin pouring in scant 1/4 cup batter. Continue to pour batter in slow, steady stream, rotating wrist and twirling pan slowly counterclockwise until pan bottom is covered with even layer of batter. Cook until crepe starts to lose opaqueness and turns spotty light golden brown on bottom.-, loosening crepe from side of pan with rubber spatula, 30 seconds to 1 minute. To flip crepe, loosen edge with rubber spatula and, with fingertips on top side, slide spatula under crepe and flip. Cook until dry on second side about 20 seconds.
• Place cooked crepe on plate and repeat cooking process with remaining batter, brushing pan very lightly with butter before making each crepe. As they are done, stack crepes on plate (you will need 12 crepes). (Crepes can be double-wrapped in plastic and refrigerated up to 3 days. If crepes have been refrigerated, bring them to room temperature before making sauce,).
• ORANGE SAUCE: Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat broiler. Add 3 tablespoons Cognac to broiler-safe 12-inch skillet; set over medium heat just until vapors begin to rise from Cognac, about 5 seconds. Remove pan from heat and wave lit chimney match over cognac until it ignites; shake pan until flames subsides. (Cognac should burn for about 15 seconds; re-ingite if flame dies too soon).
• Add butter, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1 cup orange juice to cognac; simmer briskly over high heat, whisking occasionally, until many large bubbles appear and mixture reduces to thick syrup, 6-8 minutes. (You should have just over 1/2 cup sauce.) Transfer sauce to small bowl; do not wash skillet. Stir remaining 1/4 cup orange juice, zest, liqueur, and remaining tablespoon cognac into sauce. Cover to keep warm.
• TO ASSEMBLE: Fold each crepe in half, then in half again to form wedge shape. Arrange 9 folded crepes around edge of now-empty skillet, with rounded edges facing inward, overlapping as necessary to fit. Arrange remaining 3 crepes in center of pan, sprinkle crepes evenly with remaining tablespoon sugar. Place skillet in oven and broil until sugar caramelizes and crepes turn spotty brown, about 5 minutes. (Watch crepes constantly to prevent scorching; turn pan as necessary) Remove pan from oven and pour half of sauce over crepes, leaving some areas unsauced. Transfer crepes to individual serving dishes ans serve immediately, passing extra sauce separately.

JACQUES PéPIN ORANGE SOUFFLé CRêPES RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• Crêpes: Melt butter in a skillet While the butter is melting, combine flour, eggs, sugar, salt, and 1/4 cup milk. Whisk until smooth and thick. Add enough milk to make a thin batter. Add the melted butter. Ladle some of the batter into the skillet. Quickly turn the skillet to coat the pan with the batter. Cook for about 1 minute, at least on one side. When you see it is golden, flip it over to cook for a little bit longer. Remove from pan. Repeat for each crêpe. Soufflé Filling: Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease an ovenproof pan with butter then sprinkle with sugar and shake to cover butter. Whip eggs whites until firm peaks form. Add 1 cup sugar and orange zest to peaked whites and mix. Place crêpes on prepared baking dish and ladle filling onto each crêpe. Fold each crêpe once and dust with powdered sugar. Bake about 10 minutes. Dust lightly with more powdered sugar and drizzle lightly with Grand Marnier, if desired. Serve immediately.

CREPES WITH ORANGE SYRUP

Steps:

• Place flour in a large bowl and make a well in the center.
• Pour the eggs into the center, then beat with a wire whisk. Mix well.
• Add the milk very gradually, and blend completely.
• Add the butter, salt, vanilla and sugar and mix until thoroughly incorporated. The batter will be thin.
• Set aside and let it sit for 30 minutes.
• Heat a flat non-stick pan over medium or medium/high.
• Ladle 1/4 cup portions of the batter into the pan, or pour from a measuring cup.
• Cook each crepe 1-2 minutes per side.
• When the crepes are done, roll them up, and place on serving plate.
• In a small saucepan, mix the water, 2 tsp sugar, and marmalade together. Heat over low heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce the liquid until it becomes a thin syrup.
• Drizzle the crepes with syrup and garnish with orange slices.
• In another small saucepan, heat the orange liqueur until small bubbles form (do not boil), then carefully light with a long match. Caution: keep face away from the pan. Carefully pour liqueur over the crepes before the flames die out.

BASIC CREPE BATTER

Steps:

• Beat together the eggs and milk with a whisk or in an electric blender. (We always use the blender and it's easy to pour from).
• Sift the flour with the salt and add to the egg and milk mixture.
• Add the melted butter or vegetable oil and blend thoroughly.
• If beating by hand, strain the mixture through a sieve to remove any lumps.
• Allow mixture to stand for at least an hour before using (my kids can't do that!). If the batter is too thick, add a little milk and mix.
• Pour one or two tablespoons of the batter in the centre of a hot, nonstick frying pan. Tilt to spread the batter to the edges of the pan. Cook until the top is dry. Turn over and cook the other side for about 15 seconds. Don't worry if the first couple aren't perfect - those are the trial ones for me!
• You can roll these with fruit inside and top with whipped cream. My kids like using peanut butter and bananas and I like blueberries or spinach and mushrooms. Be adventuresome!
