Warm Banana Crepes Food

BANANA CREPES

Steps:

• Sift flour and powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Add eggs, milk, butter, vanilla, and salt; beat until smooth.
• Heat a lightly greased 6 inch skillet. Add about 3 tablespoons batter. Tilt skillet so that batter spreads to almost cover the bottom of skillet. Cook until lightly browned; turn and brown the other side. Repeat process with remaining batter, grease skillet as needed.
• Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet. Stir in brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir in cream and cook until slightly thickened. Add half the bananas at a time to skillet; cook for 2 to 3 minutes, spooning sauce over them. Remove from heat.
• Roll a crepe around each banana half and place on serving platter. Spoon sauce over crepes. Top with whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon.

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.

WARM BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• Custard base: Heat whole milk, half and half, vanilla, and vanilla bean in a large saucepan until bubbles start forming around the edge of the pan. Remove from heat and set aside. Place egg yolks and 2 cups of sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on high until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the flour to the egg mixture on low just to incorporate. With the mixer on, slowly pour about a cup of the custard base from the saucepan into the egg mixture-this "tempering" will keep the eggs from cooking. Pour the tempered mixture through a fine mesh strainer into the saucepan (to smooth out any remaining lumps). Stir to combine, then fish out the vanilla bean. Split it open lengthwise, then use the back of a knife to scrape out the seeds. Return seeds and the scraped pod to the saucepan.
• Heat the custard mixture over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with heat-resistant spatula until thickened. (If the custard turns lumpy, turn off the heat and whisk until it's smooth again.) Whisk in salt and butter until smooth, then remove the vanilla bean pod and discard. To make it super-smooth, blend with an immersion blender until shiny. Set aside.
• Assembly: Slice the pound cake into 1/2-inch-thick slices and set aside. Pour 1/3 of the custard into a casserole dish to cover the bottom. Add the cake in a single layer, breaking slices up so they all fit. Brush cake with coffee, then add half of the bananas. Press the ingredients down so they're even, then repeat with more custard, cake slices, coffee, and bananas, finishing with a final layer of custard.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Put egg whites, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Start the mixer on low (to avoid spatters), gradually raise speed to high to make sure the ingredients are combined, and then reduce to medium until soft peaks form. Spread meringue evenly over the banana pudding, then bake 5-6 minutes until the top is golden brown. Let cool several minutes, and serve warm.

BANANA CHOCOLATE CREPE

Steps:

• Prepare the Crepe recipe. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove or in a microwave-safe bowl. Once the chocolate is melted spread about 1 ounce of it on the prepared crepe. Place the banana on the end of the crepe and roll up the crepe with the banana inside. Place the rolled-up crepe on a cooking sheet and put in oven to warm up, about 4 to 6 minutes. To serve: Take 6 bamboo skewers and push them through the crepe at 1/2-inch intervals. With a sharp knife cut between each skewer. Arrange the pieces with the cut-sides up on a plate. Drizzle with the remaining chocolate, sea salt, and chopped walnuts.
• To make the crepes: 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 and beat until smooth. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the hot 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. Place on paper or cutting board to allow the crepe to cool.

Serve immediately spooned over cake or ice cream.
