Ingredients
  

For the Crêpes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Orange Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • 2 tbsp Grand Marnier or orange liqueur optional

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour a small amount of batter, tilting the pan to spread it thinly. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • In a large pan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in sugar, orange juice, and zest, cooking until the sugar dissolves. Add Grand Marnier (if using) and cook for another minute.
  • Fold each crêpe into quarters and place them in the orange sauce. Heat gently, spooning the sauce over the crêpes to coat them.
  • Serve immediately, warm, and enjoy.
