Crêpes Soufflés Suzette

Procedure

1. Heat the orange juice.

2. Mix the cornstarch with enough cold water to make a smooth slurry. Stir into the orange juice and cook, stirring, until thickened.

3. Add the sugar, liqueur, and vanilla. Boil to dissolve the sugar.

4. Cool the mixture.

5. Whip the egg whites to soft peaks. Add the sugar and whip to a firm meringue.

6. Whip one-third of the meringue into the orange base, then fold in the remaining meringue.

7. Fit a pastry bag with a medium plain tip. Fill with the orange meringue mixture.

8. Fold the crêpes into quarters. Fill the folded pancakes with the orange meringue mixture using the pastry bag. The pancakes may now be frozen for later use if desired.

9. Arrange the filled pancakes on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until well risen and firm to the touch.

10. Dust lightly with confectioners' sugar.

11. Ladle a ring of sauce Suzette onto each plate. Arrange 3 crêpes on each plate. Garnish as desired with candied zest and berries.
