Ingredients

50 gram butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup cream

1 tablespoon dark rum (optional)

4 bananas

2 sheets (350g) butter puff pastry

Method

1.Preheat oven to 220C. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add the sugar and cream, and stir to remove any lumps. Add the rum and bring to the boil, remove from heat.

2.Peel the bananas and slice diagonally into thick slices.

3.Arrange the banana in the base of a 26cm tart pan. Pour syrup over the bananas. Cover with a pastry sheet and then slice strips from the second pastry to tuck around the edges, down the side of the pan to the base. These provide sides for the tart when it is turned out.

4.Prick pastry with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes or until pastry is puffed and golden. Loosen the sides of the pastry with a knife, then turn out onto a large plate.

5.Serve warm with ice cream or cream.
