Crêpes Suzette (pronounced [kʁɛp syzɛt]) is a French dessert consisting of crêpes with beurre Suzette (pronounced [bœʁ syzɛt]), a sauce of caramelized sugar and butter, tangerine or orange juice, zest, and Grand Marnier, triple sec or orange Curaçao liqueur on top, flambéed tableside.

One claim is that it was created from a mistake made by a 14-year-old assistant waiter, Henri Charpentier,[2] in 1895 at the Maitre at Monte Carlo's Café de Paris.

He was preparing a dessert for the future King Edward VII of the United Kingdom (then Prince of Wales), whose guests included a beautiful French girl named Suzette.

He recognized that the pancake controlled the gender and that this was a compliment designed for him; but he protested with mock ferocity that there was a lady present.

There, Charpentier explained at length that "his complicated version began as the dish of pancakes with fruit sauce his foster mother made on very special occasions.

He decided to flambé the thin pancakes to attract the audience's attention and keep the food warm for the actors consuming them.
