1. In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour with the vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt. Then make a well in the middle of the mixture and place the two eggs and the yolk in it. Stir in with a whisk, at the same time add the milk and water while stirring. Mix into a smooth dough and then cover and leave to rest in the refrigerator for an hour.
2. Bring the squeezed orange juice, lemon juice and sugar to the boil in a saucepan, then simmer on a low flame for 8-10 minutes until a thick sauce is formed.
3. Melt 30 g butter and stir into the crepe batter. Heat a small piece of butter in a pan, then add enough of the batter to the pan until the bottom is just covered. Bake both sides of the pancake until golden brown, the batter is enough for approx. 8 crepes, depending on the size of the pan. After baking, fold the cooled crepes twice to make quarters.
