Is there a "simplified" crepe suzette recipe--especially for the sauce ?
Thank you, Howard

CREPE SUZETTE

Here is a quiet simple way of making Crêpes Suzette :

- Prepare the Crepe batter and cook each crêpe
(see our seasonnal theme)

- Wash and dry an orange ; take the zest then press it for juice.
In a non-stick pan, pour the juice, the zest, 1 oz sugar, 3 oz unsalted
butter and 2 Tbspoons Cointreau. Let this mixture simmer
for around 5 minutes, then place one crepe in and fold it with a fork
into 4 ; leave it on the side of the pan, and repeat this with all crepes.
When all the crepes are in the pan, spread them with 1 Tbspoon sugar,
and prepare the flambée : in a small saucepan, heat 4 Tbspoons
Cointreau, flame it and pour it "burning" on the crepes.

Serve immediately.
