Ever tried a banana tart??

The pastry is light and crumbly, the filling, a sweet, sticky morish banana jam with treacle and caramel notes. Perfect served with tea or as a dessert with whipped cream or served warm with custard.

 

It's quite simple. Shortcrust pastry (if your buying, make sure it's all butter) lines the case and also gives it a decorative top. The filling I'm afraid you can't buy but not to worry, it's simple.

You'll need 4tbsp dark brown unrefined sugar and 4 ripe bananas chopped into chunks and a nonstick pan. On a low heat cook the banana and sugar till it becomes dark brown thick and sticky. It will take a while from being really watery till thick so do give it time. Allow it to cool and fill your cases before baking. 

Glaze the top of your tarts with egg wash and bake till golden at gas mark 4 and dust with icing sugar. 

Serve. Enjoy.
