COOKING THE
- CREPES: Brush the pan with clarified butter and heat it. Ladle in a little batter, tilt the pan to spread it thinly over the base and cook the crepe for about 1.5 min, then turn it over with a palette knife and cook for about 1.5 min more, till golden brown on both sides. Place the crepe on a plate and make more crepes in the same way: you should end up with 18 crepes ! THE SAUCE: Rub the sugar lumps again the orange skin to absorb as much flavour as possible. With a wire whisk, work together the softened butter and sugar, then add in the curagao and sugar lumps. SERVING: Squeeze the orange juice into a pan, set over high heat and reduce by half. Bring the pan to the table, set it on a spirit stove - or possibly a fondue heater - and beat the butter mix into the orange juice, bringing the mix to the boil. As soon as the sauce bubbles, lift one crepe at a time with a fork and spread it in the sauce, turn it over and fold into quarters. Repeat with all the crepes. -
