YIELD: 12 crepes.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • 1. In a bowl, whisk together first 6 ingredients; let stand 20 minutes.
  • 2. Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fill a 1/4-cup measure halfway with batter; pour into center of pan. Quickly lift, tilt and rotate pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook crepe until top appears dry; turn over and cook until bottom is cooked, 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing pan as needed.
  • 3. For filling, place butter, sugar, orange zest and orange juice in a large skillet; bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to medium; add bananas to warm.
