About the bake

This classic dessert of pancakes with oranges is often flambéed with brandy at the table - it really is a crowd pleaser.

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Place the flour and sugar in a mixing bowl and add the eggs. Beat well gradually adding the milk until the mixture is smooth, thick and creamy.

    2. Step 2

      Whisk in the melted butter, it will set in tiny droplets.

    3. Step 3

      Heat a small frying pan, non stick if possible, until really hot, then turn down the heat to medium. Drizzle the pan with a tiny amount of oil and add a large spoonful of pancake mixture, swirling the pan to coat the surface. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes until brown then toss the pancake or use a palette knife to flip the pancake over. Cook until this side has browned lightly.

    4. Step 4

      Stack on a plate, covered with cling film and a clean tea towel to keep warm or serve immediately.

    5. Step 5

      To make the filling squeeze the juice from 2 oranges, cut the other 2 into segments, by cutting off all the peel and pith with a sharp knife, then divide into segments.

    6. Step 6

      Put the butter and sugar into a frying pan, add the orange juice and rind and heat until bubbling. Dip each crêpe into the sauce, fold into quarters then arrange in a warm serving dish with orange segments.

    7. Step 7

      Pour the liqueur and brandy into the pan light with a long taper, then pour the flaming sauce over the crêpes and serve.
