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.

CREPES WITH FRESH STRAWBERRY MARMALADE AND MASCARPONE CREAM

Steps:

• Stir first 3 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Cover mascarpone cream; chill.
• Stir strawberry preserves in heavy small saucepan over low heat until melted. Spread 1/2 tablespoon preserves over 1 side of each crepe. Fold crepes in half, enclosing preserves. Fold crepes in half again, forming triangles.
• Mix sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Spread butter over both sides of crepes. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over both sides of crepes. Transfer to baking sheet. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover crepes and refrigerate. Keep mascarpone cream refrigerated.)
• Preheat oven to 200°F. Spray large nonstick skillet with vegetable oil spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add 6 crepes to skillet. Sauté until sugar begins to caramelize, about 45 seconds per side. Transfer crepes to another baking sheet; keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining crepes, wiping skillet and spraying with vegetable oil spray before each batch.

SOUR CREAM CRêPES WITH SEVILLE ORANGE MARMALADE & AMARETTO SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the pancakes, sift the flour into a bowl with a small pinch of salt and sugar and make a well in the middle. Crack the eggs into the well and whisk them into the flour. Mix the sour cream with 150ml water and pour this in too, whisking to incorporate until you have a smooth batter the consistency of double cream - add a splash more water or milk if needed. Leave to rest for 30 mins.
• For the sauce, whisk the cornflour with the orange juice until smooth. Warm it in a pan, stirring to thicken, for around 2 mins. Add the marmalade, amaretto and lemon juice and cook for a few mins more. Gradually add the butter, whisking until you have a glossy sauce.
• Stir the melted butter into the batter, then grease a non-stick pan and place over a high heat. Stir the batter, then ladle some into the pan. Swirl it around the pan and cook until it slips away from the pan when you shake it (a couple of mins). Use a spatula to flip the pancake and cook the other side until it comes away and is golden and caramelised in patches. Remove to a plate and keep warm, either covered in foil or in a low oven. Repeat with the rest of the batter until you have a pile of pancakes. Dust each one with a little caster sugar and top with the marmalade amaretto sauce. Fold into four, top with a bit more sauce, scatter over the toasted almonds and serve.

STRAWBERRY CRêPES WITH ORANGE MARMALADE SAUCE

Steps:

• To prepare crêpes, place egg substitute, milk, margarine and vanilla in blender. Blend 15 seconds. Add cornstarch, salt and artificial sweetener. Blend 30 seconds until smooth.
• Spray 6-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Pour 2 tablespoons crêpe batter into skillet. Immediately rotate skillet to swirl batter over entire bottom of skillet. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until crêpe is golden brown and top is dry. Turn crêpe; cook 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter, spraying pan with cooking spray as needed. Separate crêpes with waxed paper.
• To prepare filling, heat strawberry fruit spread in small saucepan over medium heat. Blend 1 cup water and cornstarch in small bowl until smooth; whisk into fruit spread. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Stir in 3 cups strawberries; cool slightly.
• To prepare sauce, heat orange marmalade fruit spread with 1/4 cup water in saucepan over low heat until smooth.
• To assemble crêpes, spread 1/4 cup filling down center of each crêpe; roll tightly. Repeat with remaining crêpes. Place 2 crêpes on each serving plate. Divide 1 cup strawberries among crêpes. Top each serving with 2 tablespoons sauce. Garnish, if desired.
• Note: Using cornstarch for the crêpe batter allows you to cook the crêpes immediately after mixing the batter. Crêpe batter made with flour usually has to rest for 30 minutes before cooking. Also, cornstarch crêpes have a silkier texture than do crêpes made with flour.
