What is crepe Suzette ?
A crepe Suzette is a French dessert made from crepe and Suzette sauce: a caramelized sugar and butter sauce, mandarin or orange juice, Grand Marnier or Triple sec liqueur and zest. Suzette crepes are usually served flambées, although some cookbooks note that in the original recipe, they are served without flambé.
