This is my grandma's recipe. She used to cook this for her grandchildren in the morning when we would stay over night. They're yummy!!
Love these! I will make these again when family comes to visit. They are great served the orange crepe sauce recipe from this site!
Read MoreI used only 1 tsp. of anise extract and found it was the perfect amount. While the taste was amazing, I had a lot of trouble working with the batter - it tore even as I spread it. I may try adding these flavors to the basic crepe batter recipe to see if I can duplicate this recipe without the tearing.

This is an excellent breakfast or brunch fun but easy food. I do not chill mine and cook them in oil verses the butter. Serve with powder sugar and or whipped cream. Great and impressive.
This was my first attempt at crepes and I thought that they were just okay. A tablespoon of anise extract seemed like too much. I couldn't taste the orange flavor at all and my husband said that they tasted "mediciny," but maybe anise just isn't our thing. In the end, I sprinkled them with powdered sugar and then squeezed some lemon over that and that seemed to sufficiently cover up the mediciny taste.

I was intrigued with the anise extract which I love plus oranges. This recipe doesn’t work at all. It is too loose (watery) for crepe batter and just ran into an extremely thin layer that could not be flipped. Despite very heavy butter in the pan, it still stuck to the pan. So I had scraped up cooked dough. There isn’t a lot of flavor to the crepes. I’ve always used Julia Child’s crepe recipe successfully. It calls for 3 egg yolks and 1-½ cups flour for 1 cup milk plus 5 Tbsp melted butter in the crepe mix plus lightly brushing the pan with butter. Big differences! I pin the future, I will just add some anise extract and Cointreau to Julia’s recipe. No, I do NOT recommend this recipe.
