Crepe «Suzette» - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use Grand Marnier, Cointreau, or even triple sec as alternatives. For a non-alcoholic version, replace it with orange juice concentrate or omit it entirely.
Replace the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend (1:1 ratio). Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or add 1/4 tsp per cup of flour for better texture.
Yes! Stack cooled crepes between parchment paper, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for 1 month. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave.
Warm the sauce in a skillet over low heat, add folded crepes, and heat through for 1–2 minutes. Avoid high heat to prevent hardening the caramelized sugar.
Fresh juice is ideal for brightness, but bottled works in a pinch. Opt for 100% juice (not concentrate) and adjust sugar to taste as bottled juice may be sweeter.
Ensure your pan is properly heated and lightly greased before each crepe. A well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick pan works best. Wipe excess oil to avoid greasy crepes.
Replace milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk, and use vegan butter or coconut oil in the sauce. Check that your liqueur is dairy-free if needed.
Absolutely! Adjust the batter amount per crepe (e.g., 1/4 cup for small, 1/3 cup for large). Cooking time may vary slightly—flip when edges are golden.
Pair with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries for contrast. A sprinkle of powdered sugar or extra zest adds elegance.
If thin, simmer longer to reduce. If thick, add a splash of orange juice or water. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon but remain pourable.
