Instructions

Make the Crêpes - This can be done in advance

1. Beat the eggs and milk together in a jug. Put the flour and sugar into a mixing bowl and gradually whisk in the egg and milk mixture. Add 1 tbsp of the calvados, salt and Vanilla essence. Leave to stand for 15 minutes.

2. Melt the butter in a small frying pan. Coat the bottom of the pan and pour off the excess into a small jug. Make 8 thin crêpes cooking on each side for approximately 30 seconds until golden but not brown. Roll up each crêpe. Coat the pan with a little of the melted butter before making each crêpe.

3. Cream the butter, sugar and grated lemon rind in a bowl. Refrigerate until needed.

5. Carefully stir in the lemon juice, orange juice and cognac and cook for a few minutes more then add the sliced bananas and rolled crêpes. Cook for about 4 minutes, continually spooning the syrup over.

6. To serve, warm the remaining calvados in a small pan or ladle. Carefully set alight and pour over the crêpes.  Serve immediately.
