Holy Crepe!

I have had this jar of Nutella staring at me for way to long, just begging to be put to good use. I also happened to have a banana that in one more day would be a shade beyond edible, when it came to me… CREPES! I have never made them before but have eaten my share. So here is my first attempt. It went pretty well but next time I would try to get them a bit thinner and make sure to brown them nicely before taking them off the heat.

I got the crepe recipe here and think it is a pretty good. I think the next time I do a sweet crepe I will add a splash of vanilla. I would also love to try to make some homemade Nutella but that is another story...

Banana & Nutella Crepes- Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter, melted

2 bananas

a jar of Nutella

Directions:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.

• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.

• Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. This will make about 8 crepes depending on how accurate you are with your scooping.

• Spread about a tablespoon of Nutella into each crepe.

• Cut bananas into 1/4" slices divide evenly between crepes.

• Roll up, sprinkle on some powdered sugar to make look pretty, and enjoy!

On a side note, as I surfed the web in an attempt to avoid some work I need to do, I came across this, which makes this post more timely than I knew. This is one to put on the calendar for next year!
