Pancake Day

My easy variation on Crêpe Suzette -"Gâteau Suzette "

Buy a ready pack of "Breton Crêpes" - a jar of marmalade, a pot of whipping cream - plus some "Grand Marnier".

You can make a "Gateau Suzette" (no fuss at the last minute as with Crêpes Suzette)

Layer them up - crêpe, marmalade and the whipped cream with some "GM" folded in - several layers - then grate some real chocolate & almond flakes on top of the last Crêpe - pop in the fridge till ready to serve – take to the table and then "Flambé" - easier to do with brandy (safe tip: heat the brandy in your microwave, then pour over and light when at the table - added advantage - it has not gone out before it gets to the table !!!!)

Depending on how many layers you use, will serve 6 to 12 people.
