Instructions

  1. Whisk flour, milk, water, eggs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, orange juice, orange zest, and salt until smooth; refrigerate for 20 minutes.

  2. Heat a greased crêpe pan over low-medium heat. Pour 3 tablespoons of batter, swirl to coat, and cook for 1 minute until golden. Flip and cook for another minute.

  3. Transfer each cooked crêpe to a plate; continue with remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary.

  4. For the syrup, melt half the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until foamy. Remove from heat, sprinkle with half the sugar, and carefully add half the orange liqueur, letting it ignite and burn off.

  5. Coat each crêpe in the syrup by placing them in the skillet, then fold into quarters or roll.

  6. Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet, remove from heat, then incorporate the remaining sugar and orange liqueur.

  7. Serve 1 to 2 crêpes per person, optionally with ice cream, and drizzle with the orange syrup immediately.
