Banana Tart
Ingredients
Pastry : 300gms Cake Flour
150gms unsalted butter
Filling : 10 ripe bananas
100gms brown sugar
1 egg - beaten to glaze
How to make Banana Tart
Mash bananas and cook with sugar over low heat until brown and leave to cool.
Sift the flour into a bowl. Rub in the butter using your fingertips until the mixture ressembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add enough cold water to form a firm dough. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
Roll 2/3 pastry out on a lightly floured work surface and line the tart tin (22cm). Prick the pastry base.
Roll 1/3 pastry to make strips for the topping.
Put cooked bananas over the pastry.
Cover with strips and glaze with the beaten egg.
Bake in pre heated oven (180°c ) for 35-40 mins or until brown.
