Ingredients

Allergens: dairy, egg, gluten

100 g flour
2 eggs
200 ml milk
30 g butter
60 g dark chocolate
2 bananas
¼ tsp salt

Instructions

Melt 20 g of the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then set it aside to cool slightly.

~2 min
Whisk the 2 eggs with 200 ml milk and 0.25 tsp salt in a mixing bowl. Add 100 g flour and whisk until the batter is smooth with no dry lumps, then stir in the melted butter.

~4 min
Slice the 2 bananas into 5 mm rounds and roughly chop the 60 g dark chocolate.

~2 min
Heat the non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a little of the remaining 10 g butter. Pour in a quarter of the batter and swirl to coat the base thinly. Cook until the edges lift and the underside is golden, about 1 minute, then flip and cook 30 seconds more. Slide onto a plate and repeat with the remaining batter and butter to make 4 crêpes.

~1 min
Lay a warm crêpe back in the pan over low heat, scatter a quarter of the chopped dark chocolate and a quarter of the banana slices over one half, and fold the other half over. Warm until the chocolate softens, about 30 seconds, then slide onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining crêpes, chocolate and banana.
