6. I repeat the process with the remaining batter.
7. I melt butter in a skillet and lightly cook the banana slices for a few minutes.

Variations

I sometimes add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch. When I want extra chocolate flavor, I drizzle melted chocolate over the crepes. I also enjoy adding cinnamon to the banana filling for a warmer flavor.

storage/reheating

I store leftover crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I reheat them gently in a skillet or microwave before serving. I usually store the filling separately when possible to keep the crepes from becoming too soft.

FAQs

How do I keep crepes from tearing?

I make sure the batter rests properly and cook the crepes gently over medium heat.
