Ingredients

5 oz plain flour
8 oz butter
4 tbsp caster sugar
1/2 (14 oz can) skimmed, sweetened condensed milk
4 oz soft light brown sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
2 small bananas, sliced
a little lemon juice
whipped cream, to decorate
1 tsp grated plain chocolate

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F.
  2. Place the flour and 4 oz of the butter in a food processor and blend until crumbed (or rub in with your fingertips). Stir in the caster sugar.
  3. Squeeze the mixture together until it forms a dough. Press into the base of a 8-inch loose-based fluted flan tin.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  5. Place the remaining butter with the condensed milk, brown sugar and golden syrup in a large non-stick saucepan and heat gently, stirring, until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
  6. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 7 minutes, stirring all the time (to prevent burning), until the mixture thickens and turns a light caramel colour. Pour on to the cooked pastry base and leave until cold.
  7. Sprinkle the bananas with lemon juice and arrange in overlapping circles on top of the caramel filling, leaving a gap in the centre. Pipe a swirl of whipped cream in the centre and sprinkle with the grated chocolate.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
