This dessert always goes home well with our couchsurfers. In fact, we’ve made life long friends because of this

I feel that we have to put a disclaimer here that you make this dish at your own risk! Don’t play with fire if you’re unsure!

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 500mL milk
• 200mL flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp melted butter

Method

Step 1

For the crepes: Mix all the ingredients together. Let stand in fridge for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a small non-stick pan on medium heat. Add butter to coat. Pour a ladle of batter into the center of the pan and swirl the pan to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove from heat. Continue until all batter is gone. The crepes will keep in the fridge for a couple of days

Suzette sauce

• 100mL sugar
• Juice of 1 orange
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp of orange liquer, brandy or rum

Method

Put the sugar in a frying pan over low heat until the sugar is caramelised
Increase the heat to medium and add the butter and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes
Pour in orange juice and stir well
Take 4 crepes and fold them into quarters. Place them in the sugar mixture and turn them over so both sides of the crepes are coated in the sauce
Warm the crepes in the sauce for about a minute or two
Add the alcohol.
Ignite the alcohol by lighting a match and holding it close to the edge of the pan, away from you. Never lean over the pan while lighting the fumes.
Allow the fume to cook away
Plate up and enjoy!
