5 stars all day. My pancake hating husband has decided that these are the best thing he ever put in his mouth. The crepes were light, tender, flavorful and the bananas and sauce were dynamite. Thanks for sharing a new family favourite. Kudos to you for making it into my 2019 Favourites Cookbook. Made FYC tag game.

Wow!!! This was absolutely fantastic!!! And so easy to make!!! My wife loved it too!!! Thank you so much!!! I'll be fixing this a lot from now on. May 19, 2009 Well, I have a confession to make. When I fixed this recipe before, I used ready made crepes and only fixed the sauce and topping to put in them. Last night I was going to fix them again for my wife as a special treat, so I prepared all the ingredients and went to get my ready-made crepes from my refrigerator only to find out I only had two left. Well, I didn't want to disappoint my wife, so I decided to try to make them from scratch this time. Well, after my first two flopped crepes (the batter was too thick to spread in the pan), I added more milk to thin out the batter, and, finally, it spread in the pan. I think that if you change the number of servings to the recipe, you really have to make sure the batter is thin, or else you will not be able to spread the batter enough to make the crepes properly. Well, in the end, they turned out fine, and amazingly delicious!!! Not only did I impress my wife, but myself! Wow! These crepes are to die for!!! You made our day (well, actually, night, since it was a late night snack.)!!! Thank you very much for a fantastic recipe! I think I will start making crepes from scratch from now on. Saulo
