1 Video | Photo: Chocolate-Banana Filled Crepes Recipe
Ingredients
Crepe Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch salt
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping:
- 1 jar hazelnut chocolate spread
- 5 bananas, sliced
- 1 can whipping cream
Directions
Sift the flour with the salt into a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the egg and egg yolk. Pour in the milk, slowly, stirring constantly and, when half is added, stir in the melted butter and vanilla. Beat well until smooth. Add the remaining milk, cover and let stand at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before using. The batter should be the consistency of light cream. Heat a well greased 6-inch skillet. Add 1/4 cup batter. Tip skillet from side to side until batter covers bottom. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, turn and remove to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter. Spread a thin layer of chocolate hazelnut spread onto crepe and place banana slices down the center. Roll or fold crepe. Just before serving top with whipped cream.

these tasted great and as another poster wrote, the recipe doesn't make anywhere near 18 crepes. I got 8 out of it, or I should say 7 and the first one which was a dud. Great with real maple syrup and butter if you don't want the chocolate. I used Trader Joe's Almond Cocoa spread with the bananas.. It was so good! Note to previous poster: please don't give a 5 star rating to a recipe you haven't tried yet. The idea is to rate a recipe on how it came out AFTER you tried it. To answer your question, tho, I heated my pan and cooked my crepes on medium (5 and it was about 2-3 min on the first side and about 2 on the 2nd. You'll likely mess up the first one in the batch as your pan "gets ready"

The crepes made way fewer than the 18 they were supposed to make. As usual when making crepes the first one is scrapped. Jacques Pepin says that the pan has to get into the mood. I only got 8 usable crepes after the first one scrapped. I had to make a second batch to get enough.

My daughter is a very picky eater right now she won't eat anything green or yellow so bananas were out of the questions for this recipe but i put some fresh granny smith apples mixed with sugar and cinnamon and put a spoonful in hers and she ate 2 crepes and asked me to make them again tomorrow. Delicious recipe. Thanks so much!
