An indulgent and delicious breakfast option awaits when you learn how to make crepes with bananas foster sauce.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 6 eggs
• 1 1/2 c. milk (or 2/3 c. powdered milk and 1 1/3 c. water)
• 1 1/2 c. flour
• 4 T. butter, melted
• 1/4 c. sugar
• 2 t. vanilla extract
• 1/2 t. maple extract
• 1/4 t. salt
• 1/2 c. butter or margarine
• 1 c. brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 t. cinnamon
• 1/2 t. nutmeg
• 3 bananas, halved lengthwise and sliced
• 2 t. vanilla or rum extract

1. Make the crepes:
   Combine all ingredients and whisk until smooth, or mix in a blender. Melt 1 t. butter in a skillet. Pour 1/4 c. batter into the center of the skillet, and lift and tilt skillet to spread over entire bottom. Cook until lightly browned (the top will start to look dry, especially around the edges). Flip and cook another 45-60 seconds, or until browned.

2. Make the bananas foster sauce:
   Melt the butter or margarine over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir well. Cook until the consistency of a thick syrup, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced bananas and cook for 3-5 more minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla or rum extract.

3. You can fill the crepes with the sauce and roll them up, or fold the crepes and top with the sauce. Either way is delicious.

4. Eat and enjoy!
