Method

  • step 1

    Prepare pancakes following the classic recipe - see 'Goes well with'. Fold the pancakes into quarters.

  • step 2

    Tip the caster sugar into a non-stick frying pan and set the pan over a low-medium heat. Allow the sugar to melt slowly without stirring and continue to cook until it becomes a deep amber-coloured caramel.

  • step 3

    Immediately slide the pan off the heat and add the orange juice – be careful as it may splatter and spit as it hits the hot caramel. Add the orange zest, lemon juice, the Grand Marnier and return the pan to a low heat to re-melt the caramel into the liquid.

  • step 4

    Add the butter to the sauce in small pieces, bring to the boil and simmer gently until glossy and reduced slightly. Add the pancakes to the pan and warm through. Serve immediately.

Can you make the sauce in advance and reheat when needed?

question

Can I freeze these crepes?

Hi, thanks for your question. You can freeze the plain pancakes. We haven't tried freezing them with the sauce - it's perfectly safe to do so but we're not sure how well the sauce will defrost and whether or not it might separate. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

question

Is there any way you could make it alcohol free?

You can just leave it out if you like, or add an extra squeeze of lemon juice. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

Also excellent with grapefruit and gin instead of orange and Cointreau
