Steps:

• In a blender, blend eggs with milk.
• Add the flour, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
• Blend until smooth.
• Pour into a container, cover, and refrigerate let stand for 1 hour or refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
• To cook, heat a lightly buttered 7" or 8" crepe pan.
• Pour about 1/4 cup of batter in the hot pan and swirl the pan so the batter coats the bottom of the pan.
• Cook until the edges begin to brown. Carefully lift with a thin spatula and flip over.
• Cook for a few seconds, just until lightly browned.
• Place on a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
• If you will be storing the crepes for a short time, separate the crepes with small squares of waxed paper.
• MAKE THE SAUCE:
• In a medium saucepan combine 1 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons dark corn syrup, 2 tablespoons rum, 2 tablespoons butter, the heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a medium saucepan.
• Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
• The mixture will foam, so be careful it doesn't boil over.
• Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
• Slice a banana; arrange half of the slices down the center of a crepe and drizzle with a little of the sauce and sprinkle with a little cinnamon sugar; roll up and place on a serving plate.
• If desired, sprinkle with a few berries, extra slices of banana, or pecans.
• Drizzle the crepe with more rum sauce and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Repeat with remaining crepes and bananas.
• Makes about 8 crepes, depending on size.

• Cook 1 to 1/2 minutes or until top looks dry.
• Turn cook an additional minute.
• Repeat until all crepes are done.
• Keep warm.
• Note: It is important that your crepe batter is runny, otherwise your crepes with be heavy and thick.
• Just add a little water to the batter as you are cooking them, as it tends to thicken.
• Filling: In a small saucepan, put bananas, syrup and butter flavoring.
• Heat on low heat until hot but not boiling, add rum extract.
• Place a tablespoon of filling in center of each crepe and roll up, then placing seam side down.

• This was designed as a low fat, low cal recipe so it doesn't have as much filling as you might prefer.

BANANAS FOSTER CREPES

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.

BANANA CREPES

Steps:

• Place ingredients in blender or food processor container in the order listed.
• Cover and blend on high 20 to 30 seconds. Scrape sides of container. Blend a few more seconds.
• PAN PREPARATION: If using a non-stick spray shortening, spray pan before heating. Before cooking the first crepe put 1/2 teaspoons butter into pan. If the pan is well seasoned it should not be necessary to add more butter for each crepe.
• PAN TEMPERATURE: Crepe pan is at the correct temperature when the batter sizzles slightly when poured into the pan, and a crepe will cook on one side in approximately 1 minute. (On my stovetop I set to medium-low). Crepes should be pale in color, not dark brown.
• TO COOK CREPES: Two or three tablespoons of batter is usually enough to cover the bottom of a 6 to 7 inch crepe pan. ( I use a 10 inch pan with scant 1/4 cup batter). If necessary adjust the amount needed for the pan you are using.
• Pour in the batter and quickly tilt the pan so the batter covers the bottom entirely. If you put in more than just a thin coating, pour the excess back into the bowl. This will leave a small flap on the crepe but it won't be noticed when the crepe is filled and folded. (Caution: If crepe pan is not hot enough, the whole crepe may fall back into the batter when you pour out the excess. It is important to have the pan at the correct temperature before starting to cook.).
• WHEN TO TURN: The crepe is ready to turn when it begins to set and crisp around the edges. Loosen around the edge with a long thin spatula or knife so you have a starting place to pick up the crepe with your fingers (or the spatula) then simply flip it over. Should it start to tear when picked up, it may not be cooked enough to turn. Cook a few seconds longer and try again.
• Crepe is ready when the second side is set (not wet).
• IF PAN STICKS IN ONE SPOT: Put more butter or oil in the pan and wipe with a paper towel. Once a crepe pan is seasoned, it should not be necessary to add more butter or oil for each crepe. It may be necessary to discard the first crepe or two until the pan is properly seasoned and the temperature is right.
• AFTER THE CREPES ARE COOKED: Stack cooked crepes on a plate. They will be easier to separate if they are not placed squarely on top of each other. It is not necessary to put foil or waxed paper between each crepe.
• PRESENTATION: Crepes can be filled and rolled or folded into quarters.
