Had yum cha today and they didn’t have one of my favourites, banana crepe parcels, they only had mango ones today.
So for dessert tonight i decided to make my own. I started with a basic crepe batter then added the yummy banana and cream filling.
2 eggs
1 cup plain flour
1 1/2 cup full cream milk
1 tbsp butter (melted)
2 tbsp caster sugar
Pinch salt
Filling
1 banana (warmed)
1/2 cup thickened cream
2 tbsp caster sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Lightly beat eggs, combine with sifted flour, sugar and salt, adding gradually till combined, like a gooey dough, then whisk in milk and butter. Stir till smooth, if lumpy use a strainer, pour batter through to produce a lump free batter. The batter is pretty easy to pour and not thick at all, so don’t worry if it appears really watery
Heat small non stick frying pan, use a 1/4 cup batter for each crepe. Tilt the pan around to spread evenly across. One the top of crepe looks dry, flip the crepe and lightly brown the other side. Repeat with remaining crepes.
Beat thickened cream till it thickens, adding in sugar and vanilla, continue beating till stiff peaks form.
For each crepe fill with banana slices and whipped cream in the centre, fold in sides, then roll up the crepe. These are terrific served as is or topped with ice cream.
