directions

1. In a blender, blend eggs with milk.
2. Add the flour, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
3. Blend until smooth.
4. Pour into a container, cover, and refrigerate let stand for 1 hour or refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
5. To cook, heat a lightly buttered 7" or 8" crepe pan.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter in the hot pan and swirl the pan so the batter coats the bottom of the pan.
7. Cook until the edges begin to brown. Carefully lift with a thin spatula and flip over.
8. Cook for a few seconds, just until lightly browned.
9. Place on a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
10. If you will be storing the crepes for a short time, separate the crepes with small squares of waxed paper.

11. MAKE THE SAUCE:

12. In a medium saucepan combine 1 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons dark corn syrup, 2 tablespoons rum, 2 tablespoons butter, the heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a medium saucepan.
13. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
14. The mixture will foam, so be careful it doesn't boil over.
15. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
16. Slice a banana; arrange half of the slices down the center of a crepe and drizzle with a little of the sauce and sprinkle with a little cinnamon sugar; roll up and place on a serving plate.
17. If desired, sprinkle with a few berries, extra slices of banana, or pecans.
18. Drizzle the crepe with more rum sauce and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Repeat with remaining crepes and bananas.
19. Makes about 8 crepes, depending on size.

YUMMY! I made another crepe recpe but used the Banana Brown Sugar Sauce for inside. I made a few changes but it still turned out great - used Dark Brown Sugar, substituted maple syrup for the corn syrup, and omitted the rum flavoring. Wonderfully sweet so a little goes a long way. Served with whipped cream on top. Thank you Annacia!

My Dh says they deserve 10 stars. I have never made or even eaten crepes and these are so yummy and I am very happy to say for a first timer they turned out great LOL. I only got 4 but my crepe pan is a 12 inch one. DECADANT dessert. This is going in my Favorite recipes of 2009 Cookbook. I added a cinnamon whipped cream to the top. Made for Photo Tag Jan 2009

Made these yesterday, and rated them a 4... but have to say... I'm craving them again, so must change that to a 5* !!! Mmmmm.... this was great!!! Added a splash extra of rum to give it that extra kick! Was excellent! Very rich and nice. Found the crepe batter a bit too thick, so added a little more milk. All in all, great recipe! Thanks for posting Annacia!
