🍰 Desserts

Thin crepes in orange-butter sauce, the French dessert with the flambé reputation. Golden-crusted and generous, with clean slices and no sogginess. Good warm or at room temperature the same day.

Prep 39 min Cook 48 min Serves 10 Medium

Ingredients

  • Butter3 tbsp
  • Salt1/2 tsp
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Sugar2 tbsp
  • Egg Yolk1 cup, chopped
  • Orange Zest1 tbsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Keep everything cold — the butter, the water, even the bowl — that is the whole secret of pastry.

  2. 2

    Rub the butter into the flour until you have pea-sized crumbs, then bring it together with ice water.

  3. 3

    Chill the wrapped dough thirty minutes to an hour while you prepare the all-purpose flour.

  4. 4

    Layer in the all-purpose flour with the egg yolk so every slice gets a full cross-section.

  5. 5

    Bake hot until the pastry is bronzed and crisp; a cooling spell keeps the filling from running.

Chef's tip

Ovens lie — an inexpensive thermometer is the cheapest upgrade to your baking.
