Doing the crepe batter :
Mix the eggs with the flour. Add progressively the liquid ingredients. Finish by grating the orange zests. Let rest.
Doing orange cream :
Reduce the orange juice to 100 gr. Clear the egg-yolk with the sugar and add the flour. Cook as a pâtissière cream. Finish by adding the butter in cold pieces and Grand Marnier. Set aside.
Doing the suzette sauce :
Make a fair caramel with the butter and the sugar. Deglaze with the orange juice and the Grand Marnier. Reduce and set aside warm.
Finishing and serving :
Make pancakes cooked on only one side. Make disks with cutter. In the middle of one of them, put the orange cream on the non-cooked side. Cover with another disk, so that the non-cooked sides of both disks stick together. Weld them and put them on a buttered tray. Put the whole in hot oven. Put onto a plate and finish by adding the warm suzette sauce. Bon appétit !
Note : this recipe can be made with clementine as well.
