Cup of Yum
Prepare Crepes
- In a blender or wiith an electric mixer or whisk, combine crepe ingredients and blend well. Place the batter in the refrigerator for an hour to thicken.
- Heat a small frying pan and coat with non-stick spray. Pour batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook until golden, 30-60 seconds and flip. Cook until the second side is golden and remove. Adjust heat as needed if crepes are cooking too fast or too slow.
Fill Crepes
- Spread each crepe with banana filling staying away from the crepe edges. Roll or fold into quarters as desired.
- Optionally top with ice cream or whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon
Notes
- Trouble flipping crepes? Me too. I quickly moved from really thin crepes in the big pan to slightly thicker crepes in a small frying pan. Big difference!
