Orange Crepes Recipes

Steps:

• In small bowl, blend cream cheese, milk and almond extract, and stir in finely chopped almonds.
• Spread onto center of cooked crepes, roll up, and set aside.
• In large skillet or chafing dish, stir sugar and lemon juice into melted butter.
• Dissolve cornstarch in orange juice, and add, along with Grand Marnier and grated peel to butter mixture.
• Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick and translucent.
• Place filled crepes in sauce.
• Heat to boiling.
• Pour warm cognac over all.
• Ignite, and spoon flaming sauce over crepes.
• Garnish with toasted almonds and orange sections, and serve immediately.
• Dessert Crepe Batter:.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk milk and water thoroughly with beaten eggs.
• Gradually add flour, whisking constantly until smooth.
• Add remaining ingredients, whisking constantly, and mix until smooth.
• Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow air bubbles to escape.
• Recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc.
• This batter has a tendency to stick to the crepe pan while cooking due to the sugar, so use a little extra oil on the crepe pan.
• To cook, spray a nonstick crepe pan with nonstick spray, and heat over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles and dances when it hits the pan.
• Ladle about 2-3 Tbsp of batter into pan, and swirl around until it completely coats the bottom of the pan.
• If you have any excess batter, just dump it back into the bowl.
• Cook just until the edges of the crepe begin to look dry and a little crisp.
• Turn over, and cook the other side for about 20-30 seconds longer.
• Turn out onto a towel to cool, and repeat for the next crepe.
• It should not be necessary to separate the crepes to prevent sticking, but you may, if desired.
• Recipe makes about a dozen crepes, but I usually double it and store the extra crepes in the freezer.
• Just wrap the crepes in a couple paper towels, put them in a freezer-safe plastic bag, and freezer for up to 6 months.
• Makes about 12-14 7" or 20- 24 5" crepes per recipe multiple.

Steps:

• Combine softened cream cheese and orange rind and set aside to blend.
• Combine eggs, flour, salt, and milk. Beat until smooth. Let stand 30 minutes.
• For each crepe - pour ¼ cup batter in hot lightly greased 6 ½ inch skillet. Cook until lightly browned on both sides. Stack crepes between sheets of waxed paper and freeze until you need them.
• You can thaw these in bulk in your oven or a couple at a time in the microwave. I don't freeze them filled but do the filling after they are thawed.
• To make sauce - heat concentrated orange juice in pot and thicken slightly with corn starch. Pour over filled and rolled crepes and then sprinkle one teaspoons orange liqueur on top to serve.

Steps:

• In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg, and salt. Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot add a teaspoon of butter and swirl the pan to coat the surface of the pan with the melted butter. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface in a smooth and even layer. After 2 minutes, lift up an edge of the crepe with a spatula to see if it is browning. When the underside has begun to brown, flip the crepe and cook the other side until it is also brown; about 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining 2 teaspoons butter and remaining batter.
• In large 10-inch saute pan, melt 1/2 cup butter, granulated sugar, and orange zest together. Add 1 crepe at time and cover it with the orange butter. Fold each crepe in half, and then in half again, to make a triangle and place it on a warm plate. Repeat these steps to cook the remaining crepes. Pour the melted chocolate over the crepe and dust it with powdered sugar. Drizzle the Grand Marnier over it and light it at the table in front of the guest. Always use caution. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Crepes.
• Using a blender put all dry ingredients in first.
• Turn on a slow speed and add eggs, and then slowly add milk, orange juice, vanilla, and orange zest.
• Turn up the speed and mix well until smooth and no lumps.
• Put a teaspoon of oil in a hot 8" or 9" pan (use medium setting). Let the oil and pan heat.
• Holding the pan above the burner, pour ¼ cup of batter into center of pan as you rotate the pan to evenly spread the batter all around.
• Cook for about 30 seconds until the bottom is browned in a speckled pattern.
• Flip over and brown the other side.
• Roll up in the pan and put on a plate.
• Repeat with the rest of the batter.
• Sauce.
• Mix ½ cup orange juice and 1 tsp of cornstarch in a bowl. Stir.
• Add to pan and heat until thickened, stirring occasionally.
• Pour over top of crepes.
• Optional: Include other fruits and/or whipped cream.

Steps:

• Using a paring knife, peel the orange, cutting deeply enough to remove the outer layer of white pith. Working over a bowl, free each segment by cutting in around the membrane, angling the knife toward the center. Set the orange segments aside.
• Place a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally with a metal fork, until the sugar is melted and golden brown. Remove from the heat and carefully add the orange juice, Grand Marnier, butter and ginger. (The mixture will sputter.) Return the mixture to the heat and stir until smooth.
• One at a time, place the crepes in the pan, coat with the sauce, fold into quarters with tongs and move toward the edge of the pan. Add the orange segments to the pan.
• Add the brandy to the pan, wait 30 seconds for it to become warm and ignite it with a match. When the flames die, garnish with the almonds, sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar and serve.

Steps:

• Beat together the eggs, milk, orange juice, anise, and flour until smooth. Refrigerate overnight.
• To cook the crepes, melt a little butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat; brush the butter evenly over the pan. Pour in 1/4 cup of the batter, tilt the pan to distribute the batter evenly. Cook until the batter begins to firm up and bubble, when lightly browned, flip over, and continue cooking until browned on the other side, about 4 minutes total. Repeat with remaining batter. To serve, sprinkle crepes with sugar.

Steps:

• FOR THE CREPES: Combine eggs, milk, water, flour, Cognac, sugar, salt and melted butter in a blender until smooth batter forms, about 10 seconds. Transfer batter to medium bowl.
• Using pastry brush, brush bottom and sides of 10-inch nonstick skillet very lightly with melted butter; heat skillet over medium heat. When butter stops sizzling, tilt pan slightly to right and begin pouring in scant 1/4 cup batter. Continue to pour batter in slow, steady stream, rotating wrist and twirling pan slowly counterclockwise until pan bottom is covered with even layer of batter. Cook until crepe starts to lose opaqueness and turns spotty light golden brown on bottom.-, loosening crepe from side of pan with rubber spatula, 30 seconds to 1 minute. To flip crepe, loosen edge with rubber spatula and, with fingertips on top side, slide spatula under crepe and flip. Cook until dry on second side about 20 seconds.
• Place cooked crepe on plate and repeat cooking process with remaining batter, brushing pan very lightly with butter before making each crepe. As they are done, stack crepes on plate (you will need 12 crepes). (Crepes can be double-wrapped in plastic and refrigerated up to 3 days. If crepes have been refrigerated, bring them to room temperature before making sauce,).
• ORANGE SAUCE: Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat broiler. Add 3 tablespoons Cognac to broiler-safe 12-inch skillet; set over medium heat just until vapors begin to rise from Cognac, about 5 seconds. Remove pan from heat and wave lit chimney match over cognac until it ignites; shake pan until flames subsides. (Cognac should burn for about 15 seconds; re-ingite if flame dies too soon).
• Add butter, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1 cup orange juice to cognac; simmer briskly over high heat, whisking occasionally, until many large bubbles appear and mixture reduces to thick syrup, 6-8 minutes. (You should have just over 1/2 cup sauce.) Transfer sauce to small bowl; do not wash skillet. Stir remaining 1/4 cup orange juice, zest, liqueur, and remaining tablespoon cognac into sauce. Cover to keep warm.
• TO ASSEMBLE: Fold each crepe in half, then in half again to form wedge shape. Arrange 9 folded crepes around edge of now-empty skillet, with rounded edges facing inward, overlapping as necessary to fit. Arrange remaining 3 crepes in center of pan, sprinkle crepes evenly with remaining tablespoon sugar. Place skillet in oven and broil until sugar caramelizes and crepes turn spotty brown, about 5 minutes. (Watch crepes constantly to prevent scorching; turn pan as necessary) Remove pan from oven and pour half of sauce over crepes, leaving some areas unsauced. Transfer crepes to individual serving dishes ans serve immediately, passing extra sauce separately.
