I improvised these last night, and the experiment turned out surprisingly well.

8 dessert crepes
1 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 tbsp. sugar
juice and finely grated zest of one lemon
2 tbsp. Grand Marnier
2 tbsp. brandy

Melt the butter in a heavy pan.  Add sugar and lemon juice and zest
(taste at this point and adjust for desired sweetness/sourness).  Add
Grand Marnier and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat, fold crepes in fourths,
and arrange in sauce.  Spoon sauce over crepes.

Warm the brandy (10 seconds in the microwave works) and place in a
long-handled metal ladle.  Ignite the brandy and pour over crepes while
flaming.
