Souffled Crepes With Grand Marnier

Ingredients

• 125 g plain flour
• 450 ml milk
• 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra
• melted butter, to grease
• 4 eggs
• 40 ml Grand Marnier
• 50 g caster sugar
• icing sugar, to dust
• whipped cream, to serve (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Place 100g of the flour, 300ml of the milk, 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1 of the eggs and 1 egg yolk in the bowl of a food processor and process to combine. Transfer to a jug and set aside to rest for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Lightly grease a 15cm crepe pan with melted butter. When hot, pour in enough batter to cover the base of the pan. Cook for 1 minute each side until golden. Stack the crepes with a sheet of baking paper between each layer until you are ready to use them. (Place in an airtight container if storing for more than 1 hour.)

3. 3

   Preheat the oven to 200°C Place remaining butter in a saucepan, add remaining flour and milk and cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until thick. Remove from heat, beat in 2 egg yolks and the Grand Marnier.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk 2 egg whites until stiff, slowly add the caster sugar and continue to whisk until thick and glossy. Fold the egg whites into the Grand Marnier mixture. Place 2 tablespoons of the filling on one half of each crepe, fold over the other half to enclose. Carefully place filled crepes on a large greased baking tray and bake for 10 minutes until well risen.

5. 5

   Dust with icing sugar and serve immediately with cream if desired.
