- 1
Combine all the ingredients for the crêpes batter in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Alternatively, you can use a blender. The batter must be fluid.

When ready to cook, use a crêpe skillet or any 8- to 10-inch nonstick skillet. Brush with oil (or melted butter if you prefer), then over medium heat, pour enough batter to cover the entire bottom, spreading it in a thin layer. Cook for a few seconds, then lift one edge to check if it is cooked, flip the crêpe, and cook on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter until you have a stack of cooked crêpes. You can prepare the crêpes well in advance, as they will be reheated in the sauce when ready to eat.

For the sauce, pour the orange and mandarin juices into a saucepan, then add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cook until the sauce thickens and becomes syrupy.

Pour the hot orange sauce into a large pan, then heat each crêpe in the sauce before folding it into a triangle. Repeat with the remaining crêpes, then serve on a platter, covered with the remaining sauce spooned from the pan.
