Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup whole milk

1/4 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for cooking

1 egg

1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread, such as Nutella

4 bananas, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds

1 can store-bought potato straws

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt together. Whisk in the milk, cream, butter and egg until smooth. Cover the bowl and refrigerate, about 1 hour.
  2. Add a pat of butter to a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 ounces of the batter and swirl around to coat the skillet in an even thin layer. Cook until light golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip the crepe with a fish spatula or thin turner and cook, 15 to 45 seconds. Transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter if needed.
  3. Spread each crepe with a generous helping of chocolate spread, slices from half a banana and a handful of potato straws. Roll up, closing off both ends and cut on a bias. Serve dusted with powdered sugar.

The filling combination is great: sweetness of the bananas and Nutella, the nuttiness of the Nutella, and the great salty crunch of the of the potato sticks.<br /><br />However, the crepe recipe is disappointing. It was thicker than I've worked with in the past and like lovefoodmom, I had to add a bit more milk to make the crepes spread easier in the pan and to cook up properly.<br /><br />Next time I make this, I'll definitely use Jeff's other crepe recipe (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/jeff-mauro/giant-pigs-in-a-blanket.html) which cooked up much better and more consistently than this.
