Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large egg
1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
⅔ cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 pinch kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, plus 2 teaspoons
½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons dark rum
3 just-ripe medium bananas, cut into ⅓-inch (.85 cm) slices
8 oz vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°F (95°C).
  • In a blender, combine the egg, melted butter, flour, granulated sugar, milk, and salt. Blend on medium-high speed until smooth.
  • Melt ½ teaspoon butter in a 9-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until bubbling. Pour in a scant ½ cup of batter and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. 4. Cook for 2 minutes, until set and golden brown in spots on the bottom. Flip and cook for another 30-60 seconds, until cooked through and golden brown. Transfer to a baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel while you repeat to make the remaining 3 crepes. Keep the crepes warm in the oven while you make the filling.
  • Wipe out the pan and return to medium-high heat. Add the walnuts and toast for 3-5 minutes, until fragrant and beginning to brown. Remove from the pan and let cool.
  • Wipe out the pan and return to medium heat. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter until bubbling. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon and cook until dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in the water and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce is darkened and reduced. Pour in the rum and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute, until the alcohol burns off. Fold in the bananas and cook for 1-2 minutes, until softened and glossy.
  • Place a crepe on a clean surface. Spoon ½ cup of the bananas onto the center of the crepe; it's okay if some of the sauce gets into the crepe. Fold the edges of the crepe inward to create a square pocket, leaving some of the filling exposed in the center. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. You should have plenty of sauce left over.
  • Plate each crepe and top with a scoop of ice cream and 2 tablespoons of the toasted walnuts. Generously drizzle each crepe with a couple tablespoons of the leftover sauce.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
