Giving a Tart Tatin the Bad Brains Overhaul
Tart Tatin looks so impressive and like you were in the kitchen for ages, but in reality it is super quick, super easy and super tasty!
Making your own pastry for one or two people is a complete farce, when you can buy ready to go block for a quid you can't buy the ingredients for that.
You will need:
Two ripe bananas
Ready to roll puff pastry block
a good size knob of butter or marg
Brown sugar
Honey or syrup
Custard to serve
Pre heat the oven to 200
Melt the butter in a frying pan, add sugar and honey to make a sticky syrup boil for a few mins.
pour the syrup into a baking tin. Top the syrup with thinly sliced banana rounds, leave a small gap around the edge to tuck the pastry in. sprinkle with a little more sugar before baking in the oven for 10 mins.
Roll out your pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin on a lightly floured surface. carefully remove your bananas from the oven, drape the pastry over tucking the edge into the gap around the bananas, this is the key stage as this soaks up the syrup and creates an incredible, sticky, naughty crust. trim the edges if necessary I leave them because I love the Crust ; )
Return to the oven for 20-25 mins until golden brown on the top.
Leave to stand in the tin for 5 -10 mins. place a plate over the top and invert carefully onto the plate.
Serve immediately with lashings of custard, I personally like hot pud cold custard cos I'm weird.
I have been listening pretty exclusively to Ryan Adams, the decemberists, Gregory porter, Tom petty & the heartbreakers and as friends rust.
