Description

Everyone loves crepes…Crepes are really simple to make and are useful in many recipes

Ingredients
 

  • A batch of salted caramel

For the crepe:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¾ cups milk
  • 2 teaspoons butter melted

For the custard:

  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 ½ tablespoons flour
  • 3 eggs lightly beaten
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 4 bananas

Instructions
 

  • Prepare your salted caramel, this can be done a few days before serving these crepes

For the custard:

  • Bring the milk to a simmering point over low heat.
  • In a pot whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and butter together until well combined.
  • Pour the hot milk over the eggs and sugar, whisking constantly.
  • Add the vanilla extract and place the mixture over medium heat. Gently stir with a wooden spoon and cook until it totally thickens. Remove from the heat.

For the crepe:

  • In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, and the eggs.
  • Add the milk slowly while stirring. Add the oil and combine well.
  • Allow the batter to sit for 30 minutes.
  • Brush the melted butter over the surface of your crepe pan and heat the pan until you start seeing the vapors.
  • Pour the batter using a ladle into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly.
  • When the crepe is ready, flip and cook on the other side. Flip it over a rack. Repeat with all the batter.

To serve:

  • Scoop 2 tablespoons of custard over each crepe, slice the bananas, and arrange two slices over the bananas. Fold into a thick roll.
  • Repeat with the remaining crepes.
  • Serve with the salted caramel sauce.
