Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ tbsp granulated sugar
1/8 tsp salt
2 eggs
½ tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup whole milk
½ cup water
3 tbsp unsalted butter
½ cup castor sugar (for sauce)
¾ cup orange juice

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center; add eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and water. Whisk until smooth and let rest for 30 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter. Pour in a ladleful of batter, tilting the skillet to spread evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift; flip and cook another minute until golden brown.
For the orange sauce, melt castor sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until dissolved; stir in unsalted butter, sliced orange peel, and orange juice. Simmer gently until slightly thickened.
Place each crepe back into the skillet one at a time, spooning some sauce over each before folding into quarters. Serve warm with extra sauce drizzled on top.
