2 Ingredient baked crepe - adapted from 'The gracious pantry'
Ingredients
½ Banana
2 Egg whites
Cinnamon sprinkle
Method
Place the ingredients in a blender and
blend until smooth.
Pour into a glass ovenproof dish. Bake
at 180’C for 25 minutes.
Serve topped with almonds if you wish.
They are so sweet
that there is really no need for syrup. But some fruit would be yummy as a
topping!
Notes
I was very anxious to have this that I was almost going to opt out
of having it as I was making another recipe for wholewheat flax and chia seed pancakes for my mother. But no. I did not. This was on my plan this week and I
have to see Mel tomorrow so I guess I should really. Plus I had halved the
recipe to make it more acceptable in my head. It worked nicely in the glass
dish however it did seem to stick to the bottom of the dish; I will need to adapt
this recipe if I were to make it again to try and limit this fault. Perhaps one
solution could be to apply a sheet of grease proof paper on the bottom yet I
have a feeling that this may not be very suitable either as I envision that the
egg mixture would soften the paper and cling to the egg whilst it was cooking.
I baked in the oven for 20 mins and it seemed to be nice and puffy.
I took this to the table and applied a small sprinkle of cinnamon before trying
to roll it up like the classic crepe. It proved to roll up with some difficultly
as it was nicely baked to the bottom and sides of the dish. I ate as much as I
could and felt somewhat bad. Was it because of the fact it was a pancake? Or perhaps
it may be because it was out of my routine of having something more fibrous?
I am still questioning how I felt about this change, but in
hindsight I believe it to be one of experimentation which although different, I
felt I had a slight burst of energy to accomplish some outstanding tasks I had
been wanting to accomplish. (eg. I found a pair of old jogging bottoms which
were to be thrown away yet I had salvaged them for use in my next upcoming
project to produce a pair of trousers from a paper pattern =] ; I have managed
to have a paper pattern completed to which I am now able to produce a toile and
then buy a chosen fabric =] )
I haven’t managed to find the time to make some crepes for my family
but I gave the recipe I had found for them to my mother to which she was happy
to make up. The recipe I had given her was one provided by the waitrose website
for the ‘Classic Crepe’
