Servings 8 crepes (7 inch wide)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 eggs large
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 250 ml (1 cup) milk
  • 100 g (¾ cups + 1 tbsp) all-purpose flour

Banana Filling:

  • 3 ripe bananas sliced
  • 50 g (¼ cup) semi-sweet chocolate chopped up into small pieces

To Serve:

  • Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a jug, or a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, oil and half of the milk.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour and a pinch of salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and, using a balloon whisk, mix vigorously, until you have a smooth paste with no dry pockets of flour.
  • Then gradually pour in the rest of the mik, until you have thin crepe batter.
  • Cover the bowl, and set it aside for 20 minutes in order for the flour to fully hydrate.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan or crepe pan over medium heat. Brush the base of the pan with a little oil.
  • Pour a ladleful of the crepe batter into the pan and distribute it across the base by moving the pan in a circular motion.
  • Cook the crepe on the first side for 40-50 seconds, or until the edges start coming away from the pan and turn slightly crispy.
  • Flip the crepe and cook on the second side for 30–50 seconds. Note that the first crepe is very likely to turn out right!
  • Repeat with the rest of the batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate.

Assemble and Cook

  • To assemble, arrange sliced bananas in the centre of each crepe, overlapping the slices a little.
  • Scatter the chopped up chocolate on top, and fold one side of the crepe over the filling. Then roll it into a tube, taking care that the filling doesn't fall out the sides. Repeat with the rest of the crepes.
  • Heat a little oil and/or butter in a large frying pan, that fits the length of your crepes.
  • Add the rolled up banana crepes to the pan, and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the chocolate inside melts.
  • Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar and yogurt or sour cream.
