Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine flour, eggs, butter, and sugar, stirring until ingredients are slightly mixed.
- Add the milk ½ cup (120 ml) at a time, stirring vigorously, making sure the milk is completely incorporated into the batter and that the batter is smooth before adding more milk.
- Repeat with the rest of the milk. The batter should be very liquidy and have no lumps.
- In a pan over medium heat, pour ⅓ cup (95 grams) of the batter in the center and swirl the batter around the edges of the pan until set.
- To know when the crepe is ready to flip, lift up one of the edges about ⅓ of the way. The bottom side should be golden brown. Flip the crepe.
- Cook until the edges are starting to slightly crisp.
- Remove from heat and cover with a paper towel to make sure the crepes stay moist.
- In a pan over medium heat, mix the brown sugar and butter until slightly bubbling.
- Add the cinnamon and bananas, stirring until bananas are evenly coated with the caramel.
- Remove from heat and cool.
- Spread half of the banana mixture on half of one crepe.
- Fold the other half of the crepe on top of the bananas, then fold the crepe in half.
- Repeat with the other crepe.
- Serve with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cover a baking sheet with plastic wrap or foil. Using a serrated knife, cut ice cream package in half lengthwise through the cardboard. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and freeze for another use. Halve the remaining piece lengthwise. Flip the ice cream, with the 2 pieces still together, so the cut side is up, and cut it crosswise into 4 equal sections - you'll have 8 pieces of ice cream.
- Place a crepe on the work surface and place a piece of ice cream in the center. Fold the crepe over the ice cream to enclose completely. Place the filled crepes on the prepared baking sheet. Continue with the remaining ice cream and crepes and freeze until just firm. (This recipe can be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance. Wrap carefully in plastic wrap before freezing. Allow to soften slightly before proceeding.)
- Peel and slice the bananas on a sharp angle into 2-inch pieces. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice and cook, stirring, until smooth and just at a simmer, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and add orange liqueur. Return skillet to high heat and stir until smooth. Carefully fold in bananas. Remove the skillet from heat and add the rum. Return the skillet to the heat, and shake the pan back and forth to warm the rum and coat the bananas. (If working over a gas flame the sauce may ignite; continue to cook until the flames subsides.)
- To serve, place 2 filled crepes on a plate crisscrossing each other and spoon banana mixture over the top. Garnish with sifted confectioners' sugar and a sprig of mint, if desired.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the milk, water, eggs and vanilla extract, and continue whisking until smooth. (The batter can be made to this point a day ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before adding the butter.) Stir in the butter. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to rest. (The crepe batter may be made in a food processor blender: Pulse the dry ingredients, then add the wet, process until smooth, and then stir in the butter.) Pour the batter into measuring cup with a spout.
- Have a plate near the stove to stack the cooked crepes, or 4 plates, if you plan to serve the crepes immediately. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until a drop of water bounces and sizzles briefly around the pan before evaporating. Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and quickly swirl it to coat the pan evenly. Cook until the batter sets, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. The crepe will blister in the middle, and the edges will look dry and slightly crispy. Using your fingers or a spatula, carefully pick the crepe up by its edges and flip it over to cook the other side, about 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat with the rest of the batter, stacking the crepes on the plate as you go.

BANANAS FOSTER CRêPES
Steps:
- To make the crêpes, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, 2 tablespoons water, the eggs, and the butter in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture and whisk to combine. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 1 day.
- Line a large plate with parchment or wax paper. Heat a crêpe pan or an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush the bottom and sides with melted butter. Add 3 tablespoons crêpe batter to the skillet and immediately tilt and swirl the skillet to spread the batter evenly over the bottom. Cook until the center of the crêpe is cooked through and the edges are lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gently flip and cook the other side for 20 seconds. Invert the crêpe onto the prepared plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, placing parchment paper between crêpes. The crêpes can be made 1 day in advance, covered, and refrigerated.
- To make the topping, whip the heavy cream with a handheld electric mixer or a balloon whisk until soft peaks form, add the crème fraîche and cinnamon, and whisk until combined.
- Place the crêpes, pale side up, on a flat surface, arrange 5 slices of banana down the center of each crêpe, and roll tightly. Place 2 crêpes on each of 4 large plates and add a few slices of banana. Top with a large dollop of the whipped cream and chopped walnuts and spoon some of the caramel sauce over the crêpes. Dust with some of the cinnamon confectioners' sugar and garnish with mint sprigs if desired.
- CARAMEL SAUCE
- Combine the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, swirling the pot occasionally (do not stir) to even out the color. Cook until deep amber in color, about 8 minutes.
- While the caramel is cooking, pour the heavy cream into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
- When the caramel has reached a deep amber color, slowly whisk in the heavy cream. Be careful; the hot mixture will bubble. Whisk until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the cinnamon, orange liqueur, and rum. The sauce can be cooled, covered, and refrigerated for up to 1 week. Reheat over low heat or in the microwave. Serve warm.
Tips:
- To make the crepe batter, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and eggs. Then, gradually whisk in the milk and butter.
- Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet for each crepe and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- To make the Bananas Foster filling, heat the butter and brown sugar in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bananas and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are caramelized.
- To make the crepe pockets, place a spoonful of the Bananas Foster filling in the center of each crepe. Fold the edges of the crepe up over the filling and press to seal.
- Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Cook the crepe pockets for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Conclusion:
These Bananas Foster crepe pockets are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
