Dairy-Free Crêpes Suzette

Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 1/2 cups Dairy-free milk (e.g., oat or soy)
• 2 tablespoons Dairy-free butter, melted
• 1/2 cup Orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 4 tablespoons Dairy-free butter
• 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup Orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau, optional)

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add the 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups of dairy-free milk, and 2 tablespoons of melted dairy-free butter. Whisk everything together until the batter is completely smooth.
2. 2Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet and immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle covering the bottom. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the edges look set and the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the crêpe and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Transfer the cooked crêpe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crêpes as you go.
3. 3In a large skillet, melt the 4 tablespoons of dairy-free butter over medium heat. Add the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has melted and is turning a light amber color, about 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the sugar.
4. 4Carefully stir in the 1/2 cup of orange juice and 1 tablespoon of orange zest into the caramelized sugar. The mixture will bubble up. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
5. 5Fold each cooked crêpe in half, then fold it in half again to create a triangle shape. Place the folded crêpes into the skillet with the caramel sauce.
6. 6If using, gently warm the 2 tablespoons of orange liqueur in a small saucepan over low heat for about 30 seconds, or microwave it for a few seconds until just warm. Carefully pour the warm orange liqueur over the crêpes in the skillet. Immediately and cautiously ignite the liqueur with a long match or lighter. Allow the flames to burn out completely.
7. 7Serve the Dairy-Free Crêpes Suzette immediately.
