Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and salt until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet and tilt in a circular motion to evenly coat the surface. Cook for about 2 minutes until the edges start to brown, then flip the crepe and cook for an additional minute. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat this step with the remaining batter.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, orange zest, sugar, cornstarch, butter, and egg yolks. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to boil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the orange curd cool completely.
- To serve, spread a generous amount of the orange curd onto each crepe. Roll up the crepes and top with additional orange curd, if desired. Optional toppings include powdered sugar, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
Tips for Success
Here are some helpful tips to ensure your crepes turn out perfectly:
- Make sure the batter is well-mixed and free of lumps for smooth and thin crepes.
- Use a non-stick skillet and be sure to grease it lightly before pouring the batter.
- Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent the crepes from burning.
- Allow the orange curd to cool completely before using it as a filling.
- Get creative with toppings - experiment with different fruits, sauces, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
