How to make Crepe/Flapjack Suzette

Thank you Aidan or taking the pictures for this post.

Ingredients

To feed 6

12 Crepes or Flapjacks (Buy them or make them - you choose)
1 cup white sugar
150g Butter (I told you this was fattening...don't look at me like that)
350ml Orange juice (preferably fresh)
100ml Triple Sec or Cointreau or Grand Marnier
25ml Brandy
Matches or a lighter
ice cream (optional)

Instructions

Add butter to a large pan on a medium heat.

Once butter is melted, add sugar, stir.

Add orange juice and stir/beat vigorously with a fork until the sugar has melted and the sauce has a 'creamy' texture.

Add Triple Sec/Cointreau/Grand Marnier.

Stir some more.

If you are using crepes, add crepes one at a time, coat in sauce, fold over twice and put on the side of the pan. Repeat with all the crepes until they surround a puddle of sauce in the middle of the pan.
If you are using flapjacks, dip them in sauce and arrange them around the side of the pan.



 
Turn the stove up to high.

Make sure that your lighter or matches are ready and then add the brandy.



N.B. Stand back! (eyebrows people!)

Light the brandy.



Watch the flames in awe of your amazing skills.

Turn down stove to low.



Serve immediately with ice cream.

Enjoy!
