Bridal shower brunch recipe

Recipe from StarTribune

Need a unique, easy, and affordable recipe idea for a bridal shower brunch?  Gotcha covered.  I made these this week for my family and they were awesome (and extremely easy).  The recipe makes quite a few of these but even doubling the recipe wouldn't add much cost.  The ingredients are very simple and cheap.  My suggestion would be setting up an electric skillet/hot plate on the kitchen table, making the crepes fresh (each crepe takes about 2 minutes on the skillet), put them on guests' plates and have a variety of toppings available such as strawberries, bananas, Nutella, whipped cream, blueberries, and powdered sugar.  These crepes are very filling but to add more to your banquet, set out a plate of muffins or use this great banana bread recipe and keep some juice and coffee available in the kitchen as well.

NUTELLA AND BANANA CRÊPES

Makes 18

• 1 c. all-purpose flour

• 1 tbsp. sugar


• 11/2 c. skim milk

• 2 eggs

• 1 tbsp. butter, divided

• Nutella and thin banana slices

• Strawberries and whipped cream, optional

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, milk and eggs; mix well.

In an 8-inch nonstick skillet, melt about 1 teaspoon butter over medium heat. Stir the batter; pour about 2 tablespoons into the center of the skillet. Lift and tilt the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the batter. Cook until the top appears dry; turn and cook 15 to 20 seconds longer, until the crêpe is just slightly firm. Remove to a wire rack.

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding the butter to the skillet as needed. When cool, stack the crêpes with waxed paper in between. (Plain-cooked crêpes can be stacked between sheets of waxed paper and refrigerated for 2 days or frozen for 1 month.)

When all the crêpes are made, spread 2 teaspoons Nutella, or more to taste, on the crêpe, top with banana slices to taste, fold the crêpe in half and then fold in half again, forming a triangle. Remove to a serving plate, and repeat with the remaining crêpes as needed. The crêpes also can be served with whipped cream and sliced strawberries, to taste, if desired.
