Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups reduced-fat (2 percent) milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon melted unsalted butter, plus more for skillet
  • 3 bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together
    flour, granulated sugar,
    and salt. Make a well in the
    center. Add milk, eggs,
    and 1 tablespoon butter;
    whisk to combine. Cover,
    and refrigerate 1 hour (or
    up to 1 day).

  2. Preheat oven to 250 degrees;
    place a baking sheet in
    oven. Heat a medium nonstick
    skillet over mediumhigh.
    Lightly coat skillet
    with butter. Pour 1/3 cup
    batter into skillet, and
    quickly swirl skillet so batter
    evenly coats bottom.
    Cook crepe until edges
    are dry, 1 to 2 minutes.
    Loosen with a wide spatula,
    and using both hands,
    grip edges with fingertips
    and quickly turn over.
    Cook 1 minute more. Slide
    onto sheet to keep warm.
    Repeat with remaining
    batter (you should have
    12 crepes).

  3. Heat 1 teaspoon butter
    in skillet over medium.
    Add bananas and brown
    sugar; cook, stirring
    occasionally, until bananas
    are lightly browned on
    one side, about 3 minutes.
    Fold crepes into quarters;
    top with bananas
    and chocolate.

    I just watched the show on this and was very happy to see a guest that was asking the same questions I would be asking. I have a daughter that can't have dairy and would like to see more ideas for her. Hope to see a show for people that have allergies. :)

    It would be helpful if I knew the measurements in metric. I cup can vary from 250mls. and the US cup measure is somewhat less.
