Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup dark-brown sugar
2 ripe bananas, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of coarse salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup dark rum
4 small Classic Crepes
1/2 cup creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Warm butter and sugar in a saute pan over medium heat until butter melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Add bananas, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla, and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Add rum. Return to heat. If using a gas stove, tip pan away from you carefully until the vapors from the rum ignite. (Or light with a long match.) Cook until flames stop, about 1 minute. Divide bananas among crepes; reserve sauce in pan.
  • Fold each crepe in half, then fold in half again. Drizzle crepes with reserved sauce, and top with creme fraiche or ice cream. Serve immediately.

These crepes were a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll try making them thinner next time.

I had a hard time getting the crepes to flip without breaking. I think I need to practice a little more.

These crepes were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good.

I'm not a big fan of bananas, but I really enjoyed these crepes. The sauce was so good that it made me forget all about the bananas.

The Bananas Foster sauce was amazing! It was the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and it really complemented the crepes.

I love how easy these crepes were to make. The batter came together quickly and easily, and the crepes cooked up perfectly in my non-stick skillet.
