Chocolate Banana Crepes

This takes me back to holidays we've had in France ......having a gorgeous paper thin crepe filled with anything from goats cheese and shrimp  ,to nutella, made in front of you ,and  boy are they lipsmaking good.....! My version I tried last night , and it seems that making a paper thin crepe is an art which I do not have -yet- but  still ,my -thicker - pancakes went down really well with the Teenager ...he probably can't remember our real deal French versions....so try them out and see if you can get more than 4 pancakes /crepes out of this recipe - which is supposed to make 6 or 7 !

For the crepes..
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp melted butter
1 egg
1 teasp vanilla
1 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/3 cup flour
4 bananas

For the chocolate sauce..
11/2 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp milk
1 tbsp cocoa
2 tbsp powdered sugar


Crepes~
Stir the melted butter,egg and vanilla together ,whisk in the cocoa until completely incorporated,then add the powdered sugar. When you have a smooth batter,add the flour and whisk again .Heat a nonstick frying pan with a small amount of butter . Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to form a very thin disk....easier said than done for me.....Cook for about 2 minutes then flip onto the other side and cook for another minute. Place the crepe on a plate and add some sliced banana,fold the crepe over and drizzle with some chocolate sauce.

Chocolate sauce~ Melt the butter over a low heat ,then stir in the milk,cocoa powder and powdered sugar . Heat very gently until its the right consistency to "drizzle".

Note ...its really difficult to take a picture as you are trying to flip a pancake.....

But this looks pretty good right??!

 Bon appetite mes amies!!
