    List of Ingredients




    Crepes:
    2 eggs
    2/3 cup milk
    3/4 cup flour
    1/2 cup water
    3 tablespoons butter, melted
    Additional butter

    Sauce:
    1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice
    1/3 cup butter
    3 tablespoons honey
    3 tablespoons orange liqueur
    2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
    2 cups sliced strawberries
    1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

    Recipe



    To prepare crepes, in medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and water; gradually add flour and 3 tablespoons butter, mixing until smooth. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. Heat 6-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat until hot; grease lightly with butter. Add 2 tablespoons batter, swirling to coat bottom of pan with thin layer. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until bottom is golden brown and edge begins to loosen from pan. Turn crepe over; cook second side 30 seconds or until bottom is golden. Remove from pan. Make remaining crepes, ending with approximately 12 crepes. Stack crepes, using wax paper to separate layers; set aside.

    To prepare sauce, in large skillet, combine orange juice, butter, honey, liqueur and lemon juice; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture is thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, stirring occasionally with wire whisk. Add strawberries; cook until strawberries are just heated. To serve, fold each crepe in half, then in half again, making a triangle. Arrange three crepe triangle on each of 4 dessert plates. Spoon strawberries with sauce over crepes; sprinkle with almonds.

    Makes 4 servings
