Banana and Chocolate Crepes
I don't make crepes often - only when I have a craving for it and I still don't find it easy to make but I manage.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pcs Eggs large size
- 1 cup Whole Milk full cream
- ¼ cup Water
- 2 tablespoon Unsalted Butter melted / or cooking oil
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tablespoons White Granulated Sugar
- ⅛ teaspoons Kosher Salt
- Butter
- 3 pcs Bananas ripe / thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Light Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoons Rum
- ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 12 ounces Semi-Sweet Chocolate
- ¼ cup All-Purpose Cream or heavy cream
Instructions
- In a blender, add the eggs, milk, water and melted butter.
- Pulse for a few seconds, until liquids are combined.
- Add the flour, sugar and salt.
- Pulse for 10 seconds or so and until flour is incorporated, being sure not to over-blend.
- Transfer the batter to a bowl and cover.
- Place the batter in the refrigerator for an hour to rest.
- Place a crepe pan over medium-heat.
- Brush the skillet with a light coating of butter.
- Add 2 ounces of batter to the pan, swirling it around until the bottom is coated evenly.
- Cook until the crepe edges' pull away from the pan, about 1-2 minutes.
- Flip and cook on the opposite side for another 30 seconds.
- You may have to play with the temperature a bit.
- The common notion is that the first crepe goes to the pan, so don't get discouraged if you have to try a few times to get the temperature right.
- When you've made a few crepes, transfer them to the oven to keep them warm, while you prepare the bourbon bananas and chocolate.
- Melt chocolate with heavy cream in a double-broiler or make your own by placing a heat-proof bowl over a pot filled with an inch of simmering water.
- Once chocolate is melted set aside.
- In a small bowl, toss the bananas, brown sugar, rum and cinnamon together.
- Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-heat.
- Once melted, add the bananas to the skillet and cook until bananas are softened and slightly caramelized, 3-4 minutes.
- To assemble, lay a few crepes side-by-side and fill each one with the banana bourbon mixture.
- Fold each side over and drizzle with chocolate.
