"We wanted to do something well. And crepes go so well with coffee." Gus Gonzalez
Well, Talia and I don't drink coffee ... but we sure like crepes ...
Here's the recipe that Talia cooked tonight: Banana crepes ...
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 cup of flour
2 cups of milk (cows milk or soya milk)
2 bananas
Olive oil (for frying the pancakes)
Method:
Mix the flour, milk, portions of banana and eggs in a bowl. Use an electric beater to blend the ingredients until they are a fine, light liquid.
Place a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan, the ladel a portion of the crepe mixture into a frying pay when the oil is hot. Make sure you pour a fine layer of mixture onto the pan. Flip over when you can see the edges brown and the crepe become less translucent on the top. (Note: It's nice when the banana has the opportunity to caramelise in the crepe). Cook the other side until golden brown.
Keep cooking crepes until the mixture is gone!
Serve with lemon and sugar ... honey and sugar ...
Bon Appetit!

ReplyDeleteThe banana crepes are delicious! They are easy to make ... but if you don't get the right texture in the mixture, it won't be light enough to be a crepe. Crepes have to be light - not like a heavy pancake. Adding banana gives it a stronger flavour ... sweeter and a more enjoyable feeling when you eat it. But you need to be careful not to burn the banana!

DeleteThis was a recipe that was created on the spot. We'd come back from a celebratory dinner after Talia was made School Prefect at BPPS for 2013. When we came back, we decided to cook dessert. Crepes was the request. And we also had some bananas that were ready to be eaten. So Banana Crepes a la Talia became the recipe. Yummy. Delicious. It passed the taste test.
