Orange-Anise Crepes

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon anise extract
• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Pinch of salt

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, and anise extract. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, honey, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Simmer the mixture over medium heat until thickened.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Pour a thin layer of batter into the skillet and tilt to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook until lightly golden, about 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional minute. Remove the crepe from the skillet and set aside.
5. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate.
6. Once all the crepes have been cooked, spoon a few tablespoons of the orange-anise mixture onto each crepe. Fold the crepe in half and then in half again. Serve the crepes warm.
