I decided I wanted to make a yummy little dessert tonight.What to make? When I ask my hubby what he wants..he always says ice cream but I like something besides ice cream…I like something warm and yummy with my ice cream.
Sooo, I decided I would make some crepes with fried bananas, ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate sauce
When making the batter make sure you whisk it really good or make it in a blender.When you cook the crepe use a small frying pan and a very small amount of batter…swirl it around in the pan so it is evenly coated and let it cook until the edges are somewhat crisp. Then flip it over so it cooks slightly on the other side
.
This is one banana sliced into four skinny pieces, sauteed in butter, a sprinkle of brown sugar, cinnamon and some slivered almonds.
I used vanilla Tillamook ice cream inside the crepes with the fried bananas..then I topped it off with fresh whipped cream and raspberries.
Here is the recipe for the crepes
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
-
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
- Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.

Enjoy!
Karins KottageWelcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with!
You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too!
I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
