These luscious French-style crepes are dressed to impress.

100g plain flour
Pinch of salt
1 egg
1 egg yolk
300ml milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted plus extra to fry
Ice-cream, to serve

Sauce

100g caster sugar
35g unsalted butter
150ml orange juice
1 orange, zested
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or Cointreau
2 tablespoons brandy

Method

1.

Place first six ingredients in a food processor and whiz until combined and mixture forms a smooth batter. Pour into a jug, and let sit for 30 minutes. Heat a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully brush the pan with a little melted butter. Tilting the pan slightly, pour in enough batter (about 2-3 tablespoons) to just cover the base. Cook for 1-2 minutes until base of the crepe is lightly browned.
2.

Carefully flip the crepe to brown the other side. Transfer to a plate and repeat until batter is used.
3.

To make the sauce, heat sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a frying pan over low heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add butter, increase heat to medium and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Add orange juice and zest, and simmer for a few minutes. Pour in liqueur and brandy and stir to combine. Dip a crepe into the sauce, then fold it into quarters and place on a serving plate.
4.

Repeat with remaining crepes, serving 2-3 per person. Serve with ice-cream.
