Crepes with Orange Butter. I miss old fashioned French cuisine.
Instructions
Preheat the oven broiler with the rack about 6-inches from the heat.
In a bowl, beat the butter with 4 tablespoons of the sugar until creamy and well blended.
Beat in the orange peel, orange juice and almonds.
Place equal amounts of the mixture in the center of each of the crepes.
Fold the crepes in half, then fold them again so they become triangle shape.
Place the filled crepes in a heatproof serving dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over the crepes.
Place the crepes in the broiler to cook for or so or until the sugar starts to caramelize.
While the crepes are under the broiler, heat the brandy and orange flavored liqueur in a pan.
When the liquid is hot, ignite it with a match, whirling the pan around until the flames die out.
Remove the crepes from the broiler and spoon the hot liquid over them.
Makes 6-8 servings
