Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Fold crêpes in half, pale surfaces inside, & lay, overlapping, on a plate.
Step #2 In a bowl, mix orange & lemon peel with orange & lemon juice.
Step #3 In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan or chafing dish over high heat, until it turns amber, melt sugar, shaking pan often, about 2 mins.
Step #4 Reduce heat to low & add juice mixture all at once; sugar hardens.
Step #5 Stir until sugar dissolves.
Step #6 Add butter & stir until melted.
Step #7 With 2 large spoons & working quickly, fold crêpe again to make a triangle, turn over, lay 1 folded crêpe at a time in sauce, & push to a side of the pan.
Step #8 Repeat to moisten & fold each crêpe, overlapping as needed to fit in pan.
Step #9 Pour liqueur & cognac over crêpes; when liqueurs are slightly warm, about 30 seconds, ignite (not beneath an exhaust fan or flammable items).
Step #10 Shake pan or spoon sauce over crêpes until flame dies.
Step #11 Let simmer 1 or 2 mins, then spoon crêpes & sauce onto plates.
Step #12 Accompany with ice cream.
