sauce thisis a flaming hot dessert and I can’tthink of a better recipe that showcasesjust why you need a working fire alarmin your kitchen now it’s a very simpleprocess to make we’re gonna start off bymaking a pancake batter this is a craftbatter with some flowers from milk alittle bit of eggs and then some meltedbutter so let’s get the batter on tomake the batter start by sifting ahundred grams of plain flour into alarge bowl separately add two eggs to225 million years of milk and whiskuntil combined zest one large orangedirectly into the flour pour the milkand egg mixture straight into the flourand mix until the batter is smooth melt25 grams of butter in a pan until niceand bubbling add some melted butterstraight into the batter and then mixuntil nicely combined now I guess theonly difference between this and aregular crap batter is the fact thatyou’ve added the orange zest but thiswill go a long way that little hint ofcitrus fragrance will give you afantastic end result last little thingto do is add a pinch of salt any sweetdesserts always require that littlepinch of salt just to balance the flavorand sometimes that little bit of saltwill actually go a long way to amplifythe citrus flavors that are throughoutthis dessert so okay we are in businesswe have a pancake batter ready to rockthis needs to sit in the fridge forabout 30 minutes just to lay the glutenin the flour to rest then it’s time tofry off makes you beautiful pancakes andget our crepes is there[Music]right before we get into this nextsection of the recipe which involves anopen flame it is high time we check thefire alarm and this is something thatpeople don’t do often enough it takesminutes to do and it saves lives nowhere’s a good tip smoke alarms should bechecked at least twice a year and

flip and cook theother side[Music]once it’s cooked fold the crepes twiceand then keep them warm in a low oven[Music]now before we get into the flam backingsection of this recipe I want to talkabout firearms one more time becausethis is an important one and it’sdefinitely something I’ve been guilty ofin the past we used to have thisterrible old fire alarm in our old housein Ireland that was so old that it wouldjust set itself off even if I was justcooking in the kitchen so there’s a lotof people who will deactivate their firealarms because it’s a nuisance in thekitchen but unfortunately a lot ofpeople forget to turn them back on whichis such a risk to take and now mostmodern fire alarms can actually tell thedifference of normal cooking compared toan actual problem in the kitchen of firein the kitchen so with that in mindwe’ve tested the firearm we’re good togo I’m gonna start off by making a verysimple caramel so I have a little pot ofsugar we’re gonna get it straight intothe pan we were using to make thepancakes and all we’re looking to do iscreate a nice caramel so you’re gonnacook that out until we have a rich andgolden caramel while the sugarcaramelizes juice two large orangesgetting the perfect caramel does take amoment and it is really hot so you haveto be careful with this but you’re justgonna swirl the pan don’t be tempted toget in there with a wooden spoon oranything because you don’t want thesugar to crystallize this is almostwhere it needs to be I can see and eventhough this is a black pan I can seethat just around the edges this is anice golden brown color so at this pointnow we’re gonna get the butter in hereand really create a gorgeous and anxioussauce so butter goes in it will hiss itwill bubble a little bit but that’s okayswirl that footer in there and now it’stime for that orange juice so come inand have a look at this this is wherethe actions are oh hello the smell rightnow is so fantastic so I’m just swirlingthe pan to make sure that caramel getsinvolved and it melts throughout thatgorgeous orange juice and what you’releft with is this like anxious sweet andcitrusy sauce which is perfectly readyfor our warmed crepes which are in theoven so just to lay that caramel toinfuse into the sauce and you’re prettygoodokay this looks fantastic just come inand have a look you’ve got gorgeousbubbles happening here you’ve got thatsweet sticky sauce and now once we’vegot it at this stage it’s time to getthe crepes in there add a ground Meunierand then get that flame going evenlycoat the crepes in the hot caramel saucewhile it’s still
