It’s almost Pancake Day 🤭

Celebrate Shrove Tuesday the best way with this orange and cardamom Crêpes Suzette recipe. This French crêpe classic is all about the dramatic flambé – which always elicits gasps of delight when done in front of your guests. A sprinkle of cardamom really brings out the floral notes of the liqueur and citrus. 🍊

Crêpes Suzette originated completely by accident in 1895 when a young waiter managed to ignite the orange liqueur in the sauce (we’re not quite sure how!). After realising that the flames caramelised the sugars and made it tastier, the flambéeing became a change to offer some tableside theatrics in French restaurants.
