Fill these crepes with a creamy, homemade orange butter, and top them off with flaming brandy and Grand Marnier to impress your guests tableside. The skillet that is best suited to this recipe is the Chef Collection Skillet because it has sloped walls for sliding the crepes out of the pan. All Lodge skillets will do the job beautifully though.

INGREDIENTS:

Orange Butter:

• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 5 tablespoons sugar, divided
• 2 tablespoons orange zest
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• ¼ cup Grand Marnier
• 2 tablespoons brandy

Crepes:

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons melted butter, divided
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt

METHOD:

Crepes:

1. Whisk together egg, milk, flour, 2 tablespoons melted butter, sugar, and salt until smooth.
2. Heat a your skillet over medium heat, 5 minutes. Brush the skillet with melted butter. Pour enough batter to coat the bottom of the skillet, approximately 1/3 cup.
3. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom with batter. Cook 1-2 minutes and flip. Cook 1 additional minute and remove to a cutting board. 
4. Continue process until the batter is gone. 

Orange Butter:

1. Blend butter, 4 tablespoons sugar, orange zest, and orange juice.
2. Turn the oven to grill. Place one teaspoon of orange butter in the centre of the crepe. Fold the crepe in half, and then in half again. Repeat with remaining crepes.
3. Return crepes to the skillet and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of sugar. Broil until the sugar begins to caramelize, then remove from oven.
4. Heat brandy and Grand Marnier in a small saucepan over very low heat, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. 
5. Carefully light the sauce mixture with a long-handled lighter and pour mixture over the crepes inside the skillet.  Allow the flame to burn out completely. Serve after the flame has gone out.
