Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup stale beer, room temperature
4 eggs, room temperature
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
4 bananas, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 lemon, juiced, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
¼ cup brown sugar
1 cup whipped topping
1 cup white sugar
½ cup boiling water
3 tablespoons cornstarch
½ cup water
3 tablespoons butter
8 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, beer, eggs, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl to form a smooth batter.
  • Toss bananas with enough lemon juice to coat in a separate bowl.
  • Beat the cream cheese and brown sugar together in a separate bowl until light and fluffy; fold whipped topping into cream cheese mixture to form the cheese filling. Set aside.
  • Heat white sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted and brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove sauce pan from heat and stir boiling water into melted sugar. Return to heat and stir until it forms a smooth and clear syrup.
  • Whisk cornstarch and 1/2 cup water together in a small bowl; add to syrup in saucepan. Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick and clear, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk butter into syrup to form a caramel sauce.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in an 8-inch crepe pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup crepe batter into heated oil. Tip and rotate the skillet until batter covers the entire area. Cook until the batter turns from wet to moist, and the edges begin to curl away from the sides of the skillet. Flip crepe and continue cooking until lightly golden on the other side. Place crepe onto a plate, and cover with a kitchen towel to keep moist. Repeat with remaining batter, lightly oiling the skillet as needed with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil each time to keep the crepes from sticking.
  • Assemble crepes by spreading about 2 tablespoons caramel sauce over each crepe. Spread 1/8 the cream cheese filling onto the caramel layer; top with 1/8 the bananas. Roll the crepe around the bananas and place seam-side down on a serving platter. Repeat with remaining crepes and ingredients. Drizzle remaining caramel sauce over crepes.

THE BEST CREPES



The Best Crepes image

Our classic crepe is versatile enough to go sweet or savory, just omit the vanilla if going the savory route. The rest time here is key; the flour absorbs the milk as it sits giving you a more tender crepe and golden color.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 8h30m

Yield 15 crepes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups milk, at room temperature
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable oil, for the pan

Steps:

  • Add the milk, eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla and salt to a blender. Puree on high speed until completely smooth and slightly thickened and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the melted butter and puree until incorporated, 30 seconds more. Let the batter rest in the blender carafe for at least 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate up to 24 hours. The longer you allow the batter to rest and hydrate, the lighter and softer the texture of the crepes will be; overnight is ideal.
  • Before cooking, re-blend the batter at high speed for 30 seconds. This will reincorporate the ingredients, a vital step in getting an even golden color on the crepes. Wipe 1/2 teaspoon of oil on a large crepe pan or a 10-inch nonstick skillet with a paper towel. You don't want to see any drops of oil in the pan, just coat with the thinnest layer. Heat the pan over medium heat until hot.
  • Ladle 1/4 cup batter into the pan. Working quickly off the heat, swirl and shake the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the batter. Return to the heat and cook the crepe, reducing the heat if it's browning too quickly, until the edges are light golden, about 2 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath to loosen the crepe and carefully flip it over. Cook on the other side until a few brown spots appear, 15 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, wiping pan with oil each time. Stack the crepes on the plate as you go (you should have about 15 total). Let the crepes cool for 10 minutes before serving or filling.
  • For fillings, we suggest Nutella and bananas or peanut butter and jelly for sweet crepes. Ham and cheese makes a great filling for savory crepes.

BEER-BATTER CREPES



Beer-Batter Crepes image

This is a Rachael Ray recipe that I found in Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine. The batter must rest for at least an hour before they should be cooked, so keep that in mind! It can be used with both sweet and savory fillings such as sauteed spinach, shredded cheese and chopped deli ham, basil ricotta, sauteed mushrooms, nutella and sugar, or any flavored cream cheese. You can also substitute a nonalcoholic beer in place of the lager if you'd like.

Time 50m

Yield 24 crepes, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 large eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
2 cups lager beer (16 oz)
4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 1/2 cups flour
2 pinches salt

Steps:

  • Melt 4 tbl butter. Whisk together eggs, milk, beer, and melted butter. Scatter the flour and salt over the mixture and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes (batter should be the consistency of heavy cream). Cover the bowl and let the batter rest at room temperature for 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate overnight.
  • In a small nonstick skillet, melt the remaining 1/2 tsp butter. Using a ladle, stir the batter and pour a scant 1/3 c into the pan, quickly rotating and tilting the pan to form a thin crepe. Cook the crepe until golden on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the crepe and cook for 30 to 60 seconds more. Remove from pan and place crepe on a plate. Cover the crepe with a towel to keep warm.
  • Repeat with remaining batter, each time stacking the crepes on the plate and covering them back up. After you have cooked the first few, you should only need to cook each crepe for about 30 seconds on each side.
  • When crepes are cooked, you can fill them with any number of fillings and roll them up jelly-roll style, burrito-style, or just fold them in half and then in half again so that they form a triangle.

BEER BATTER CRêPES



Beer Batter Crêpes image

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 eggs
1/2 cup beer
melted butter to brush on the pan
freshly squeezed lemon juice
sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In a saucepan, heat milk, salt and butter until butter has melted. Remove and allow to cool to room temperature. 2. Place flour in a bowl and make a well in the center. Add the oil and eggs to the well and whisk until the batter is stiff and smooth. 3. Gradually add milk mixture, whisking until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into a clean bowl and whisk in the beer. Cover and refrigerate overnight. 4. Heat an 8" crêpe pan or skillet over med-high heat. Sprinkle a few drops of water on the pan if they sizzle, the pan is ready to use. Brush with a little of the melted butter. 5. Using a 1/4 cup measure, fill it with batter and pour it into the skillet. Immediately pick up the pan and tilt and swirl it so that the batter covers the entire bottom of the pan. Pour any excess batter back into the bowl. 6. Loosen the edges of the crêpe with a metal spatula. You can use a spatula to turn the crêpe, but I usually, turn it with my fingers. Using both hands, pick up the loosened edges with my thumb and index finger and quickly flip it over. 7. Cook on the other side until lightly golden (usually less than a minute) and slide it out onto a plate. Cover with waxed paper. Repeat with the remaining batter. One serving suggestion: Sprinkle with lemon juice and sugar and serve.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect crepe batter, whisk the ingredients together until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain. The batter should be thin enough to pour easily but thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • For crispy crepes, use a hot, lightly greased pan. Swirl the batter around the pan to create a thin, even layer. Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  • To make soft and tender crepes, use a medium-low heat and cook the crepes for a longer period. This will allow the crepes to cook through without becoming crispy.
  • Be patient and practice makes perfect. The more crepes you make, the better you will become at it.
  • Experiment with different fillings and toppings. Crepes are a versatile dish that can be served with sweet or savory fillings.

Conclusion:

Beer batter crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of ingredients to suit your taste. With a little practice, you can make perfect crepes every time. So next time you are looking for a fun and easy meal, give beer batter crepes a try.
