Make crepes. In large skillet, melt butter. Add brown

dissolved. Peel bananas; remove tips and brush with lemon
juice. Gently saute banana in sauce, turning until tender,
about 5 minutes. Do not break bananas. Place a banana in

Basic Recipe for 8 Crepes:

In small bowl combine flour, melted butter, whole egg,
egg yolk and 1/4 cup milk. Beat with rotary beater until
smooth. Beat in remaining milk until mixture is well blended.
Refrigerate, covered at least 30 minutes. Slowly heat an
8-inch skillet until a drop of water sizzles and rolls off.
For each crepe, brush skillet lightly with butter. Pour in
about 2 tablespoons batter, rotating pan quickly to spread
batter completely over bottom. Cook until lightly browned;
then turn and brown other side. Turn out on wire rack. Keep
warm in 300 degrees oven. (Stack crepes with a piece of waxed paper
between each 2 if not using for several hours.)
