- •110 g unsalted butter
- •90 g sugar

Instructions
- 1
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl and make a hole in the centre.
- 2
Add the wet ingredients at the centre and whisk from the centre, adding the dry ingredients from the sides little by little to prevent lumps from forming.
- 3
Let rest for 30min in the fridge.
- 4
Place a bit of butter on a non-stick 25cm diameter pan over medium heat and add a ladle of the batter.
- 5
Make the pan go super vertical so as to help it spread nice and thin.
- 6
When the edges become golden unstick a corner and flip it with your two hands carefully.
- 7
Use a peeler to remove thin layers of orange peel, trying to not remove too much pith.
- 8
Cut the peels in half so they're not too long and then slice them thinly.
- 9
Add the butter, peels and orange juice to a pan and place over medium heat until it begins to boil.
- 10
Add the liqueur and flambée it or just let it simmer.
- 11
Let the sauce boil until it thickens slightly.
- 12
If you want a boozy kick, add more liqueur at this point.
- 13
Cover the crepes with the hot sauce and serve immediately.
