2 tbsp of powdered sugar

How to proceed

Total time: 1 h

For the crêpe batter, melt the butter. Pour the flour into a bowl. Beat the milk with the eggs and salt and add the mixture and the melted butter to the flour, until you get a smooth and homogeneous batter, then let it rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, grate about 1 tablespoon of orange zest. Peel the oranges and free the segments from the skin, taking care to collect the juice.

For the orange butter, strain the collected juice through a colander. Froth the butter with the orange juice and zest and the icing sugar, then keep it at room temperature.

Melt the butter for roasting in a small non-stick pan. Pour in some batter and distribute it on the bottom by tilting the pan. Brown the crepes on both sides and set aside. The batter is sufficient for approx. 8 crepes.

Brush one side of the crepes with the orange butter. Heat a large skillet, then heat one crepe after another with the buttered side facing down for approx. 1–2 minutes, fold it in four and set aside.

When all the crepes are ready, heat the leftover orange butter in the pan and quickly heat 4 crepes at a time, along with the orange wedges. Remove the pan from the heat and turn off the extractor hood.

For flaming: sprinkle the crepes with half the cognac and orange liqueur and flambé immediately. As soon as the flame goes out, serve the pancakes still hot. Repeat the same process with the rest of the crepes. Excellent to accompany with vanilla ice cream and toasted matchstick almonds.
