Wonderful Crêpes Suzette Recipe
Serves 8
8 slices Wonder® bread, crusts removed
- Craving calcium? Use Wonder Classic White bread
- Hungry for whole grains? Try Wonder Made With Whole Grain Wheat bread
10 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Grated zest of 1 orange
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
Vanilla or orange creamsicle ice cream
Orange slices, for serving
Using a rolling pin or tall drinking glass, roll each slice of bread until the slice is as thin as a crêpe. Butter one side of each slice of bread with 6 tablespoons of the butter. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the butter on each slice. Fold each slice over diagonally and then diagonally again to create a small triangular crêpe. Butter and sugar each side of the triangular crêpes using 2 tablespoons of the butter.
In a large nonstick skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over low heat. Add the juices, fruit zests and marmalade. Stir to combine and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully place the crêpes in the skillet and ladle the mixture over the crêpes until well coated. Spoon into serving dishes and accompany each with a scoop of ice cream. Garnish with the orange slices.
Tip: If desired, flambé with brandy - Grand Marnier or Cointreau. To flambé, add 4 tablespoons of the liqueur to the juice and marmalade mixture before adding the crêpes. Carefully light the liqueur. When the flame subsides, add the crêpes until well coated and serve as directed above.
The story behind the sensation.
"As a child, I spent several summers going to Boy Scout camp. The food was terrible - except when we were able to 'borrow' loaves of Wonder bread and fresh fruit to make our own meals. The combination of fruit and Wonder bread became our staple snack every summer. I've taken that memory and turned it into this gourmet dessert."
