suzette

Flambéed pancake's namesake

Suzette appears almost exclusively in crêpes Suzette, a French dessert of thin pancakes served in a sauce of caramelized sugar, butter, citrus, and Grand Marnier, traditionally flambéed tableside.

The name likely honors a real Suzette, though accounts vary.

Outside this dish, Suzette is simply a French diminutive of Susan.
