Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- Zest and juice of 1 orange
- 2 oz Grand Marnier or orange liqueur

Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and sugar until smooth. Let rest for 30 minutes.
- Cook the crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup batter into the pan, swirling to coat evenly. Cook until edges lift slightly (about 1-2 minutes), then flip and cook briefly until set.
- Make the sauce: In the same skillet, melt remaining butter, add orange juice and zest along with sugar, stirring until dissolved.
- Flambé: Carefully pour in Grand Marnier and ignite using a long lighter; let flames subside while stirring gently.
