- Pour the eggs into the center, then beat with a wire whisk. Mix well.

- Drizzle the crepes with syrup and garnish with orange slices.
- In another small saucepan, heat the orange liqueur until small bubbles form (do not boil), then carefully light with a long match. Caution: keep face away from the pan. Carefully pour liqueur over the crepes before the flames die out.

CREPES
You can make the crepes in advance; they could sit, piled between torn-off sheets of baking parchment and well wrapped in the refrigerator, for a good three days without coming to any harm.

Steps:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Form into a mound, making a small well. Crack egg into well, and mix with a wooden spoon, gradually incorporating flour from sides.
- Mix in 1 1/4 cups milk to make a smooth batter. Using a whisk, blend in melted butter and liqueur. Allow to stand for 30 minutes. Batter should thicken to consistency of heavy cream; if necessary, add more milk to thin.
- Lightly oil an 8-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet. Place over medium-high heat until well heated. Pour about 3 tablespoons batter into pan, just enough to line bottom. When pancake has a bubbly surface, after about 30 seconds, carefully flip it with a spatula and let it brown again 20 to 30 seconds. Transfer finished crepe to a large plate. (First crepe may tear and need to be discarded.) Repeat until batter is gone, reoiling pan about every fourth crepe and layering finished crepes with baking parchment or waxed paper. Allow to cool, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.

CREPES SUZETTE WITH ORANGE SAUCE
It takes a few crepes to get the heat of the pan right; your first two or three will almost inevitably be unusable. (To allow for practice, the recipe yields about 16 crepes; only 12 are needed for the dish.) A dry measuring cup with a 1/4 cup capicity is useful for portioning the batter. Whole milk is better than skim or lowfat.

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh oranges for the best flavor in the syrup.
- If you don't have a citrus zester, you can use a fine grater to remove the zest from the oranges.
- Be careful not to overcook the crepes, or they will become tough.
- Serve the crepes immediately with the orange syrup and your favorite toppings.
Conclusion:
These crepes with orange syrup are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, brunch, or dessert. The crepes are light and fluffy, and the orange syrup is tangy and sweet. You can top the crepes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, sugar, lemon juice, powdered sugar, or fruit. These crepes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
