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.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and beer. Gradually whisk in flour. Add the salt and oil, then whisk the batter vigorously for 3 to 5 minutes, so all is thoroughly incorporated. Let the batter sit for 1 hour.
- Heat a 10 inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush it with butter, and when it's hot but not smoking, pour a scant 1/3 cup of batter into the center of the skillet, and rotate it so the batter covers the bottom of the pan in a thin layer, pouring out any excess batter. Cook the crepe until it is just golden on one side, 1 to 2 minutes, turn it and cook until it is golden on the other side, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate, and keep warm by covering with aluminum foil. Continue until all of the batter is used.

Tips:
- Use a good quality beer. The beer you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your crêpes, so choose one that you enjoy drinking. A light, refreshing beer like a pilsner or a lager will work well.
- Make sure your batter is thin enough. The batter should be thin enough to easily pour from a ladle, but not so thin that it's runny. If your batter is too thick, add a little more beer or water until it reaches the right consistency.
- Cook the crêpes over medium heat. Medium heat will help the crêpes to cook evenly without burning. If you cook the crêpes over too high heat, they will brown too quickly on the outside and be undercooked on the inside.
- Flip the crêpes carefully. Crêpes are delicate, so be careful not to tear them when you flip them. Use a thin spatula and flip the crêpes quickly and gently.
- Serve the crêpes immediately. Crêpes are best served warm, so serve them as soon as they're cooked. You can top them with your favorite fillings, such as Nutella, fruit, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Beer batter crêpes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for a quick breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect crêpes every time. So what are you waiting for? Grab a bottle of beer and get started!
