| Butter and Rum Crepes |
The crepes are then cooked in a crepe pan or a skillet that has been rubbed lightly with canola oil. Once the crepes are browned place on a plate that has been sprinkled with sugar. Next, you make the delicious sauce that is drizzled over the crepes.
The sauce is made with honey, lemon juice, orange juice and lots of delicious butter. If you wish, you can fill the crepes with some lemon curd but I didn't. I folded my crepes into quarters, arranged them on a plate and drizzled the sauce over them. I also did a dusting of powdered sugar.
As I said earlier in this post - these crepes were fantastic. Everyone in the family loved theses crepes. This dish will definitely be making more appearances on my table. Not only are they delicious they are so easy to make.
This recipe can be found on pages 411-413 in "Around My French Table." Enjoy:)
Love that twisted slice of orange for garnish! Will give that zest and sugar tip a try soon!
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job- your crepes look perfect ! And I am with you on that sugar citrus zest combo. I thought it was pure gold and don't know how I have never heard of it before. All I kept thinking was I will never throw a rind away again when I can add sugar and make this treat. Look out hips :) So glad your family enjoyed it as that is the icing on the proverbial cake.
ReplyDeleteWhat success!! Your crepes look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMine did not... I couldn't get the hang of them. At least my sauce was good, and masked the "mess" enough to make them taste fairly yummy. I guess I need to try again. Happy everyone enjoyed yours!!
I feel so fortunate that the first crepe recipe I've ever used is such a good one. Glad you enjoyed them too.
ReplyDeleteI love crepes and wow do those look delicious. Fantastic recipe!

ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of Dorie's trick with the sugar and zest as well. It just smells so perfect. I didn't love this recipe, but I will continue to use that trick.
ReplyDeleteThese were easy and delicious! A true winner
ReplyDeleteWasn't this a winner? I had some challenges cooking the crepes, but that gives me an excuse to make more to practice.Glad you and your family enjoyed these.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty plate Geraldine! I loved these and would definitely make them again.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great recipe and I didn't even make the sauce or filling - just the crepes which I tasted plain and they were luscious. Then I added nutella and fresh strawberries - yum! Yours look terrific. Glad you and your family enjoyed them so much.
