Equipment

  • Cast-iron Skillet or Overproof Frying Pan (approx 22cm)

Ingredients
 
 

  • 60 g caster sugar
  • 45 g unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 bananas ripe but firm
  • 30 g pecans roughly chopped
  • 250 g puff pastry ready-rolled
  • yogurt, greme fraiche or ice cream to serve

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C Fan.
  • Heat the sugar and 2 tablespoon of water in a pan, but don't stir. Let it bubble gently for 5-7 minutes until it turns golden. Add butter and salt, and shake the pan to combine. Pour into the base of an oven-proof pan, cast iron skillet or another round ovenproof dish. Scatter the pecan nuts all over
  • Slice the bananas into rounds approx 2cm thick. Place them in the caramel snuggly.
  • Unroll your puff pastry and cut a circle just bigger than the overproof dish used. Place on top and tuck around the bananas.
  • Place in the centre of the oven for approx 40 minutes. When cooked, puff pastry should be golden and firm to the touch.
  • Carefully invert the tarte tatin onto a plate as soon as you take it out of the oven. Leave to cool for a few minutes before serving with some ice cream, yogurt or creme fraiche!
