Banana and Cajeta Layered Crepes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, cooled, plus more for brushing
- 3 large eggs
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup cajeta
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 5 bananas, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
- Place the flour, sugar, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water, milk, butter, eggs and salt in a blender and process until smooth, about 5 seconds.
- Turn off the motor.
- With a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the blender, and blend the batter for 20 seconds longer.
- Transfer the batter to a bowl and let it stand, covered, for 1 hour.
- The batter may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
- Meanwhile, blend the cajeta, whipping cream and cream cheese in a clean blender until smooth.
- Set aside.
- Heat a crepe pan or nonstick skillet measuring 6 to 7 inches across the bottom over moderate heat until it is hot.
- Brush the pan lightly with butter and heat until the pan is hot but not smoking.
- Stir the batter and pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan.
- Tilt and rotate the pan quickly to cover the bottom with a layer of batter.
- Loosen the edge of the crepe with a spatula, and cook the crepe until the top appears almost dry, about 1 minute.
- Flip the crepe, cook the other side lightly and transfer the crepe to a plate.
- Make crepes with all the remaining batter, brushing the pan lightly with butter as necessary.
- To assemble: On a 10-inch cake stand, or in a 9-inch glass pie dish, pour 1/4 cup cajeta cream into the center.
- Top with one crepe, more cajeta cream, sliced bananas and pecans.
- Repeat with remaining crepes, cream, bananas and pecans, finishing the last layer with bananas and pecans.
- Refrigerate until set, about 45 minutes.
- Serve cold.
