20 minThese aren’t your thick, fluffy Sunday morning pancakes.
These are thin, golden crepes wrapped around sliced bananas that have been tumbled in a spiced mixture of lemon juice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and sugar.
The lemon keeps the bananas bright and stops them from browning, while the warm spices make every bite smell like a holiday morning.
Brush each crepe with melted margarine, fold it around the filling, and hit it with a generous dusting of powdered sugar and a squeeze of fresh lemon.
Pro Tips
- Use ripe but firm bananas. Overripe ones will turn to mush once they hit the warm crepe.
- Toss the banana slices gently in the lemon-spice mixture so they stay in neat rounds instead of falling apart.
- Fry the crepes over medium heat. Too hot and they burn before you can flip them. Too low and they turn rubbery.
- Assemble and serve right away. These don’t hold well since the crepes get soggy as they sit.
Ingredients
Directions
Mix the sugar, nutmeg, salt & lemon juice in a small bowl. Slice the bananas & mix them gently in the lemon-spice mixture. Heat a skillet & add a little vegetable oil.
Fry each crepe on both sides. Spread each cooked crepe with the melted margarine & some of the banana mixture. Keep everything warm until ready to serve. Sprinkle the crepes with icing sugar & garnish with lemon wedges.
