Banana Crepes With Brown Sugar Rum Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    CREPES
    2 large eggs
    3/4 cup milk
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons melted butter
    2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    SAUCE
    1 cup brown sugar, packed
    2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
    2 tablespoons rum
    2 tablespoons butter
    1/3 cup heavy cream
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    4 -5 bananas
    cinnamon sugar
    berries, pecans (or more)
Preparation
    In a blender, blend eggs with milk.
    Add the flour, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
    Blend until smooth.
    Pour into a container, cover, and refrigerate let stand for 1 hour or refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
    To cook, heat a lightly buttered 7\" or 8\" crepe pan.
    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter in the hot pan and swirl the pan so the batter coats the bottom of the pan.
    Cook until the edges begin to brown. Carefully lift with a thin spatula and flip over.
    Cook for a few seconds, just until lightly browned.
    Place on a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
    If you will be storing the crepes for a short time, separate the crepes with small squares of waxed paper.
    MAKE THE SAUCE:
    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.
    Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
    The mixture will foam, so be careful it doesn't boil over.
    Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
    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.
    If desired, sprinkle with a few berries, extra slices of banana, or pecans.
    Drizzle the crepe with more rum sauce and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Repeat with remaining crepes and bananas.
    Makes about 8 crepes, depending on size.
