I didn't have any Curacao and used 2/3 cup of brown sugar instead of the superfine, but it was very delicious. The crepes were so light and good! Since I wasn't adding the liquor, i added the orange rind in with the Orange juice. I made the sauce and let it simmer while I made the crepes, so it was nice and syrupy...I made the crepes and then dipped into the sauce and folded them into quarters. I then removed them from the sauce and put them on a platter for presentation...Thanks so much for a delicious recipe! there are so many variations that can be made from this. I will definately try the Curacao the next time kids aren't involved! Thanks again!
