Caramelized Banana Stuffed Crepes Recipe

Happy New Month Loves! Let's kick off this new month with one of my sinful indulgences, after chocolate that is! Crepes! I cannot seem to get enough of these little morsels of deliciousness; I could eat them every day, seriously! Crepes are so versatile; you can make them with whatever ingredients your mind tells you to, aaaand, you can stuff them with sweet or savoury fillings. The sky really is the limit when it comes to this amazingly delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner, midnight snack dessert! See how you can eat it whenever. So my first Crepes recipe for this month is caramelised Banana stuffed Crepes! How lovely does that sound? Crispy on the outside yet gooey on the inside because of the bananas caramelised in sugar and butter! Then to top it off, sprinkled with icing sugar, no regrets! Yes yumminess! I feel like I'm on a high, that's the way I want to start this new month! With incredible food, people and places. I want to live out my 'good food. good vibes. good places' blog mantra. Like Julia Childs said " people who love to eat are always the best people..." so cheers to good food and being the best person to eat with.

Ingredients

1 Cup All Purpose Flour

2 Tablespoons Sugar

1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda

2 Tablespoon Butter melted

Pinch Salt

1/2 Cup Milk

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence

Caramelized Bananas

1 Banana

2 Tablespoons Sugar

1 Tablespoon Butter

Instructions

Sift the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add Sugar. Set aside

Mix the milk and melted butter, whisk until well combined

Add the wet ingredients (milk and butter mixture) to the dry ingredients (all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt)

Whisk the crepes batter until smooth. If mixture is a bit heavy add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you get a very light crepes batter. The lighter the batter, the thinner the crepes will be. Add the vanilla essence

Heat a non stick skillet and add vegetable oil or you can use butter.

Add a ladle full/ 2 Tablespoons of the crepe batter to the pan. Tilt it so that the batter spreads around the pan up to almost the edges

Return the pan to the heat and cook for a few seconds until you see bubbles start to form at the top and the edges are crisp

Carefully lift the edges of the crepe with a spatula and lift it off the pan and flip it so that the second side cooks as well

Remove the crepe from the pan and place it on a plate and cover with a clean tea towel to keep it warm as you finish the rest of the batter

Now for the caramelized bananas

Heat a non stick pan. Add the 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.

Let the butter and sugar cook until butter has completely melted and sugar starts to melt

Add in the chopped bananas. Let the bananas cook in the butter sugar mixture for a few minutes

Do not cook the bananas for too long as they will start to become mushy. You need them to still hold their shape when you are stuffing them inside the crepes

Remove from the heat

Spread the prepared crepes with the caramelized bananas and fold into quarters. Drizzle with icing sugar and serve immediately
