Crepes Suzette
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.
Ingredients
- Butter3 tbsp
- Salt1/2 tsp
- All-Purpose Flour2 cups
- Sugar2 tbsp
- Egg Yolk1 cup, chopped
- Orange Zest1 tbsp
Instructions
- 1
Keep everything cold — the butter, the water, even the bowl — that is the whole secret of pastry.
- 2
Rub the butter into the flour until you have pea-sized crumbs, then bring it together with ice water.
- 3
Chill the wrapped dough thirty minutes to an hour while you prepare the all-purpose flour.
- 4
Layer in the all-purpose flour with the egg yolk so every slice gets a full cross-section.
- 5
Bake hot until the pastry is bronzed and crisp; a cooling spell keeps the filling from running.
