Crêpes Suzette Végétales

Crêpes Suzette Végétales are a delightful vegan twist on the classic French dish, featuring delicate crêpes infused with orange zest and a luscious citrus sauce. This dish is perfect for a light lunch, offering a blend of flavors that is both refreshing and satisfying.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 100 grams
• Almond milk - 250 ml
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
• Maple syrup - 1 tablespoon
• Orange zest - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Coconut oil - 1 tablespoon (for cooking)
• Orange juice - 100 ml
• Vegan butter - 1 tablespoon
• Brown sugar - 2 tablespoons
• Grand Marnier or orange liqueur (optional) - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond milk, cornstarch, maple syrup, orange zest, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little coconut oil to coat the pan.
3. Pour a ladle of the batter into the skillet, swirling to create a thin, even layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
4. In a saucepan, combine the orange juice, vegan butter, and brown sugar, and heat over medium until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. If using, add the Grand Marnier or orange liqueur.
5. To serve, fold each crêpe into quarters and place them on a plate. Drizzle the orange sauce over the crêpes and serve warm.
