Crêpes Suzette, while not definitively linked to one singular historical event, gained prominence in the late 19th century. Several stories exist regarding its creation, with one popular version attributing it to a young waiter, Henri Charpentier, accidentally setting a dessert of crêpes on fire in front of the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII). The flambéed crêpes were then served, and the Prince was so impressed that the dish was named after a woman present, Suzette. The use of citrus and liqueur, reflecting the era's culinary trends, is characteristic of French dessert traditions.

Crêpes Suzette offers a delightful blend of citrusy sweetness, buttery richness, and the sophisticated warmth of Grand Marnier.
The primary flavor profile revolves around the crêpes themselves, which are thin pancakes with a delicate, slightly eggy taste. The sauce is typically made with caramelized sugar, butter, orange juice, orange zest, and a generous splash of Grand Marnier, an orange-flavored cognac liqueur. The Grand Marnier adds a complex depth of flavor, combining the citrus notes with the warming, oaky characteristics of cognac. The flambéing process further intensifies the flavors and imparts a slight caramelized bitterness.

Crêpe Preparation
Ensure your crêpes are thin and evenly cooked. A non-stick pan and a well-greased surface are essential for preventing sticking. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the gluten to relax, resulting in more tender crêpes.
Flambéing Safety
Always flambé in a well-ventilated area and away from flammable objects. Heat the Grand Marnier slightly before adding it to the pan to ensure it ignites easily. Use a long-handled lighter or match to ignite the liqueur, and be prepared for a brief burst of flames.
Sauce Consistency
The sauce should be thick enough to coat the crêpes without being too heavy. Adjust the amount of butter and sugar to achieve the desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning with orange zest and Grand Marnier as needed.
