Method:

1. Crêpes: Sift the flour and salt
into a large bowl and make a well in the middle. In a separate bowl, beat the
milk, vanilla essence, water, eggs and butter until combined. Pour the milk mixture
into the dry ingredients and beat until well combined.

2. Set the
batter aside for at least 30 minutes or chill overnight in the fridge.

3. Heat a
little oil in a non-stick pan and pour some of the batter into the pan (the
batter should be quite runny). Fry the pancakes until you’ve used all the
batter.

4. Sauce: Heat
all the ingredients in a saucepan until the sugar has dis-solved. Simmer slowly
for a few minutes or until slightly reduced.

5. Pour half
the sauce into a large pan. Fold the pancakes into tri-angles and arrange in the
sauce in the pan. Pour the rest of the sauce over and heat for 1-2 minutes.

6. To serve: Remove from the heat,
deco-rate with the orange and lemon wedges and serve with cream or ice cream
(if using).
