Yields8 Servings
Prep Time10 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time20 mins

 4 eggs
 1 cup all-purpose gluten free flour
 2 tbsp sugar
 1 ½ cups water
 2 tsp melted butter, cooled to room temperature
 powdered sugar for dusting

1

Combine gluten free flour, sugar, and orange zest in a mixing bowl. Add eggs and blend. Add melted butter to mixture and blend. Finally add water to thin mixture. Crepe batter can be refrigerated for an hour, but remember to blend well again before cooking.

2

Heat non-stick 8” skillet to medium heat. Pour a very thin layer of batter into the skillet and swirl the pan to coat the entire bottom. You can use a flat butter knife to assist in this task, but you must act fast because the batter cooks quickly.

3

When batter starts to brown slightly, about 1 min or so, flip and cook on the other side for about a minute. Remove from pan and place in a warming oven while you cook the other crepes. When crepes are complete leave them in the warming oven while you make the sauce. This recipe will make about 8 citrus crepes.

4

For the sauce, heat margarine in a large skillet on medium high, add orange juice and sugar. When the sugar has completely dissolved, place folded crepes into the skillet and coat with sauce. Do this with all the crepes, and then pour remaining sauce over crepes. Serve with orange zest and powdered sugar.
