For the crepes, in a bowl and using a whisk, mix the flour, egg, butter, sugar, vanilla, and milk. Stir until you achieve a smooth and lump-free mixture. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add cooking spray, form the crepes using a ladle and spread the batter with circular wrist movements. Set aside. For the bananas, heat a skillet over medium-low heat; add the butter and brown sugar until melted and the sauce begins to form, carefully add the bananas, followed by the rum and immediately take a spoonful of the sauce and ignite it with a lighter or match, it will catch fire immediately, return the spoonful to the sauce to ignite the rest, stir carefully and wait for the flames to subside, this will happen when the alcohol completely evaporates, you should obtain a semi-thick texture. Remove from heat. Serve the crepes, pour the bananas on top, add vanilla ice cream, and drizzle with the sauce; garnish with chopped walnuts. Enjoy with a delicious Negra Modelo® Beer.
