Jamie's Banana Tart Tatin. So Easy and So Delicious.

This is such an amazing recipe - 6 ingredients and 10 minutes of focusing and you have a pudding worthy of a king.


I served it at our dinner party last night with a scoop of rum and raisin ice cream.  It went down a storm... 'nuff said

Ingredients (serves 6)

60 g unsalted butter
150 g caster sugar
5 large bananas
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 orange, zest only
250 g, ready rolled puff pastry

Ice cream to serve

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
2. Cut the butter into squares and place in a deep baking tray (I used a roasting tray) approx 19x30 cm.  Place on a low heat and let the butter melt.


3. Add the sugar and stir until combined.  Allow to cook for 5 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is caramalised (don't touch - it is super hot).
4. Peel the bananas and cut in half lengthways.  Lay them cut side down on the caramel, remove from heat and sprinkle over the cinnamon and zest.

5. Unwrap the pastry and lay over the top of the bananas, tucking in the sides.  Prick the pastry a few times if you remember (I forgot to no conceivably bad effect) and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden.


6. Remove from the oven and immediately but very carefully place a large serving board over the tin and flip the whole lot over.  Do this asap or else the bananas will stick to the pan but do be careful with the molten sugar...



Serve hot...
