Ingredients (Serves 4):
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Whipped cream, for topping
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to use ripe bananas for the filling as they will caramelize better.
- Use a non-stick pan to cook the blintzes to prevent them from sticking.
- You can make the blintzes ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Cooking Process:
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, salt, and melted butter until smooth.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan. Swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly and cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift. Flip the blintz and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
3. In a separate pan, add the sliced bananas, brown sugar, water, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the bananas are caramelized and the liquid has thickened.
4. To assemble the blintzes, place a spoonful of the caramelized bananas in the center of each blintz and fold the sides over to create a pocket. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
