Crepes Suzette Recipe - Cooking Index
Crepes Suzette are not difficult to make. They are only expensive! But they are well worth the cost. It is a perfect party dessert. The crepes can be prepared in advance (even a day before), and kept in the refrigerator, making it easier for the hostess. Regardless of when they were made, the last operation always takes place in a chafing dish at the table. Then, the blazing of the crepes is a dramatic show, the aroma of the flaming liquors makes the mouth water, and the crepes themselves are a delicious treat that more than comes up to all the promises of the elaborate preparation.
