Recipe: Banana Crepes [edit]

Step 1

Make Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, mix the egg, milk and sugar together, set aside. In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, spices and salt. Pour the flour mixture into the egg and milk mixture and whisk rapidly. Pour in melted butter and stir. Set aside.

Step 2

Make Crepes: Place 2 teaspoons of butter into a medium non-stick pan over high heat. When butter begins to melt, use a heat resistant spatula to spread it around the sauté pan. Pick up the sauté pan to guide the melting butter around in a circular motion. When it looks like pan is almost smoking hot, add one ladle of batter, (approximately 4 ounces) and pick up the sauté pan to create a circular motion again to coat the pan with batter. Let batter cook for 25-30 seconds and then use spatula to scrape along the edges and underneath the crepe. Flip crepe and cook for another 25 seconds. Crepe should have a golden color, but not too tan. Place crepe onto a plate. Continue to add butter if pan looks dry in between batter ladles. Repeat process with remaining batter. This should make 6-8 crepes. While you make the filling and sauce, keep crepes warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Make Filling: melt butter and brown sugar in a medium saute pan over medium high heat and stir. Add sliced bananas, stir and coat with brown sugar and butter. Taste for seasoning, may need to add salt. Add optional cream and stir. Keep warm.

Step 4

Assemble Crepes: Preheat the oven to 300F degrees Add approximately half cup of filling into each crepe, roll and place in a warm place, or onto a baking sheet to heat all the crepes at one time. Once all the crepes are asembled, top with a dollop of whip cream and a sprinkle of powdered sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
