Cooking method

Step 1:

Sweet sushi rolls are a whole different take — this is where you can get creative and treat yourself and your family. I went with a pancake (crêpe) version, so I started by mixing up the batter from the recipe ingredients. It's just an ordinary pancake batter.
Step 2:

Then I turned on the stove, greased the pan with oil, and cooked the pancakes. Don't be afraid to pour a bit more batter into the pan — that way the filling won't soak through (which is what happened to me, since I made mine thin).
Step 3:

The pancakes should be pliable and not too thin. Here's the stack I ended up with.
Step 4:

I laid a pancake on a bamboo sushi mat and used condensed milk as the spread. I spooned it on and smoothed it out with a spatula so it covered the whole surface evenly.
Step 5:

Big chunks of nuts would tear the pancake, so I went with sesame seeds. You can use more than the recipe calls for.
Step 6:

Peel a rinsed banana. Try to lay it flat without breaking it, or trim the ends — whatever's easiest. Place the banana on the pancake.
Step 7:

Now start rolling. Grab the near edge and, using the mat to help, roll it up. Then chill this beauty in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours. In a hurry? The freezer for about half an hour works too.
Step 8:

Slice into pieces with a sharp knife, just like real sushi rolls. Dress them up with your favorite sauces, berries — whatever you love. It's delicious.
Step 9:

Roll the log in sesame seeds before slicing, and you get these cute little "sushi"!

A few more tips: making pancakes just for rolls is a bit of a chore, so combine the two — cook the pancakes and assemble the rolls in one go. If you're making them for a crowd or the whole family, just scale up the ingredients; if it's only for you, cut back on the pancakes and bananas (it's best not to overdo it on bananas anyway). You don't have to use condensed milk for the spread or sesame for the topping — try sweetened farmer's cheese, melted chocolate, almonds, and so on. Pair the banana with berries, other fruit, or any goodies you like. You can also use rice paper instead of a pancake. Don't forget to chill the rolled log for a couple of hours before slicing. The cooking time given in the recipe already includes the chilling.
