Cut crepes into long, thin strips and soak in a bowl of cool water while the sugar caramelizes (see step three below).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a pot, cook two cups sugar with oil over a medium flame until sugar is dissolved.

When the sugar mixture turns a dark amber, drain the sliced crepes, add them to the pot, and mix well.

Add 1/4 cup sugar, eggs, salt, and pepper and mix to combine.

Pour into a nine-inch round pan, cover, and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake another 30–40 minutes.
