Crêpes Suzettes with apricot jam
- 3 eggs
- 300g flour
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 70g butter
- 600ml milk
- half a lime
- 1 jar Bonne Maman apricot jam
- Pistachios
- Alcohol of your choice (brown rum was used here)
Steps
- Mix the flour, eggs, sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Gradually add the milk until you have a smooth, even batter.
- Bake all your crêpes in a pan. Set them aside.
- Add 3 generous tablespoons of Bonne Maman apricot jam, ½ cup of water, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the pan while it is still hot. Stir with a spoon or spatula and allow the syrup to thicken slightly.
- Now place a crêpe in the syrup over low heat, turn it over and fold it first in the middle, then again until it has a triangular shape. Set aside the crêpe soaked in syrup and repeat the process with the next crêpes.
- For a dozen crêpes, you will need to refill the syrup once or twice.
- Cooking: Place all the crêpes back in the hot pan, pour over the alcohol of your choice, and flambé them with a match. Make sure you do not turn on the extractor fan during this step, if you have one.
- Once the flames have died down, you can serve your crêpes Suzettes, sprinkled with chopped pistachios for a touch of crunchiness.
Tip: For even more enjoyment, serve your crêpes suzettes with Bonne Maman apricot jam and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
