    List of Ingredients




    Crepes:
    4 eggs
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 cups milk

    melted butter

    Tangerine Sauce:
    1/2 cup butter
    3/4 cup sugar
    2 teaspoons orange zest
    1 teaspoon lemon zest
    2/3 cup tangerine juice
    4 teaspoons lemon juice
    1/2 cup Grand Marnier

    Recipe



    Crepes: Blend the eggs and flour together in a food processor or blender. While the machine is running, slowly add the milk, blending until smooth. Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. When hot, brush the skillet with a small amount of melted butter. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the crepe batter into the skillet, tilting it so the batter flows quickly and evenly over its entire surface. Cook just until the edges are lightly browned and the surface looks dry. Using a spatula, carefully turn the crepe over and brown lightly on the other side. Turn the cooked crepes onto a flat surface to cool. Makes 18 to 20 crepes.

    Tangerine Sauce: Fold the crepes in half. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the sugar and stir until it begins to boil briskly, but do not allow the mixture to brown. Stir in the orange and lemon zest, tangerine juice and lemon juice. Bring the sauce to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to low and add the crepes to the skillet, one at a time. Using tongs, turn each crepe to moisten with the sauce, and fold into a triangle. Push the crepe to the side of the pan and continue the process with the remaining crepes, stacking them around the edges of the skillet. When the crepes are heated throughout, warm the Grand Marnier in a small pan over low heat. Remove the pan from the heat and ignite the liqueur using a long match. Pour the flaming liqueur over the crepes. Shake the pan until the flame dies. Place two or three crepes on each dessert plate and top each with some of the sauce. Garnish with tangerine slices. Serves 6 to 8.
    Option: If you do not wish to flame the liqueur, pour the liqueur over the crepes and simmer for a few minutes to cook the alcohol.

    Caution: When igniting the liqueur, keep away from flammable items and do not turn on the exhaust fan. Do not pour extra liqueur from the bottle into a pan of flaming liqueur.
