Ingredients
(Servings: 1)
- For the crêpes:
- 240 240 g plain flour
- 720 720 ml Unsweetened Sproud Milk
- A pinch of sea salt
- A few Tbsp of oil for frying
- For the sticky orange sauce:
- 2 2 Tbsp vegan butter
- 240 240 ml orange juice
- 1 1 fresh orange, peeled & cut into segments
- 230 230 g caster sugar
- 1 1 star anise
- 1 1 shot of orange liqueur
Method
- First up prepare your batter. Add the flour & sea salt to mixing bowl, then whisk in the non-dairy milk. Set the batter aside for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile for the sauce, add all the ingredients to a small saucepan & place it over a low heat. Let the sauce bubble away & thicken up for around 15 minutes.
- Lightly oil a non-stick frying pan placed over a medium heat, then add enough batter to cover the surface over the pan (you can use the back of the ladle to spread the batter). Cook for around 2 minutes on each side or until golden.
- Once you’ve used up all the batter, serve the crepes with plenty of orange sauce drizzled over the top.
