Ingredients
Method
1.Grease a 22cm loose-based flan pan. Sift flour into a large bowl and rub in 125 grams of butter, using fingertips, until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in sugar.
2.Add egg yolk and 1-2 tablespoons water and mix with a metal spatula, until mixture comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes.
3.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Roll out pastry between two sheets of plastic wrap until 5mm thick. Ease into prepared pan, press into sides and trim edges. Chill for 15 minutes.
4.Blind bake for 15 minutes. Remove paper and filling and bake for another 15 minutes, until golden. Cool.
5.Meanwhile, combine condensed milk, the rest of the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a heavy-based saucepan on low heat. Stir for 10 minutes, until golden. Cool.
6.Pour caramel into pastry case and chill for 2 hours, until firm. Arrange bananas on top. Spoon whipped cream on top, sprinkle with nutmeg and cut into wedges to serve.
While many recipes call for the condensed milk to be boiled in the can until caramelised, this can be a dangerous method, as there is the risk of the can exploding.
