How to make Crepes Suzette with no Alcohol:

Ingredients:  

Crepes: Makes 12

1 1/2 cups milk
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs

Suzette Sauce (Orange Sauce):

1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup butter
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon grated orange peel

How to make the Crepes:

In a blender, combine all of the ingredients for the crepes only (not the sauce ingredients) and pulse for 10 seconds. Optional: Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours.

Heat a small 7″ frying pan and one 10″ frying pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add butter to coat the 6″ pan. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly.

 Add butter to the 10 ” pan. Cook for 2 minutes in the 7″ pan until top is set, loosen crepe and flip over into the 10″ pan.

 Cook for another 30 seconds and remove to a plate. 

When cool enough to handle, fold the crepes in half, then in half again so they look like a triangle. Continue until all batter is gone. Serve immediately with the Suzette Sauce.

To make the Suzette Orange Sauce:

Add all ingredients into a 10″ skillet over med-low eat until butter melts and sauce thickens. About 5 minutes. Serve over Crepes. Alternately, you can soak the crepes in the sauce for about 30 seconds each then serve.

To make this dish a dessert, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle more sauce over the top of the ice cream.

I hope you try these! You will love them!
