Pain Perdu and French Toast
And here are more French Toast recipes! In France, we call it Pain Perdu. It means Lost Bread, and is quite the opposite of that, as what would have been lost (or wasted) bread, becomes a delicious dessert, treat or even an indulgent brekkie. I believe this was the first thing I ever learned to cook, too. My grandma was very fond of it, and I was very keen on doing everything my grandma did! So much so it even became a motto the whole family knew: "Je fais comme Mamie, mais je ne suis pas Mamie!"* As we are visiting the Loire Valley, where she was born and lived all her life, I am sharing a few of my favourite Pain Perdu and French Toast recipes, some I know she would have loved...

Crepes Suzette with Maple Syrup and Orange Pearls
For the Crepes:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp melted butter
For the Sauce:
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
Zest of 1 orange
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup Grand Marnier or Cointreau (optional)
1/2 cup maple syrup
For Garnish:
Powdered sugar
Orange pearls (molecular gastronomy caviar or use orange zest for a simpler option)
Instructions:
Prepare the Crepes:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and melted butter, and beat until smooth.
Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the skillet, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and cook until it starts to dissolve.
Add the orange juice and zest, and cook until the mixture thickens slightly.
If using, add the Grand Marnier or Cointreau, and continue to cook for another minute.
Finally, stir in the maple syrup and cook for another minute until well combined and warm.
Assemble the Dish:
Fold the crepes into quarters and place them in the skillet with the sauce, allowing them to soak up the delicious syrup.
Spoon the sauce over the crepes to ensure they are well coated.
Garnish and Serve:
Transfer the crepes to serving plates.
Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the crepes.
Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with orange pearls (or zest).
