Ingredients (12)

  • 100g plain flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 300ml milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter, cooled, plus extra to brush
  • 200ml mango butter
  • 100ml thick Greek-style yoghurt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Cointreau sauce

  • 1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
  • Finely grated zest of 1 orange
  • 2 tablespoons Cointreau liqueur

Method

  • 1.
    Place the flour, egg, egg yolk, milk and a pinch of salt in a food processor and mix until smooth. Set aside for 30 minutes to rest, then stir in the melted butter.
  • 2.
    Brush an 18cm crepe or small frypan with melted butter and place over medium-high heat. Pour in a little of the batter and swirl to coat the base. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook the other side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, stacking the crepes between layers of baking paper.
  • 3.
    Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • 4.
    Place the mango butter, yoghurt and lemon zest in a bowl and beat to combine. Divide the filling between 12 crepes, then fold each crepe into quarters. Place in a shallow, greased baking dish, cover with aluminium foil and place in the oven for 5-6 minutes to warm through.
  • 5.
    Meanwhile, to make the Cointreau sauce, place the sugar, lemon and orange zest and 1/2 cup (125ml) water in a saucepan over medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Cointreau.
  • 6.
    Place two warm crepes on each serving plate and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with the citrus zest and serve with a dollop of cream, if desired.
