Instructions
- Oven preheated to 180 C/ 350 F.
- Use a loose bottomed tart tin 24 cm / 10 in, (shallow)
- Sift the icing sugar onto a work surface, add butter and work together. Add egg yolks and mix until combined, then slowly add flour, a pinch of salt, and 1 Tablespoon iced water. Work together until mixed. Shape into a rectangle. Wrap and chill
- Alternatively, use a food processor. Starting with butter sugar and eggs in the same way.
- Once the pastry is pulled together, refrigerate at least 30 min.
- Roll pastry out between two pieces of grease proof paper and line the tart tin. refrigerate for 30 min, or 15 minutes in the freezer.
- Blind bake the pastry ( filled with weights or beans) 10 min or until set, then remove paper and bake till golden ( approx 10 min). Cool
- Whisk the eggs with the brown sugar and vanilla, then whisk in the sour cream.
- Lay the sliced bananas onto the bottom of the pastry and pour over the sour cream mixture.
- Bake this for approximately 30 minutes or until just set. If it is a little wobbly ( not liquid) , this will set when it is cool. If you would like nuts in your tart add them after pouring over the sour cream mixture
- Cool
- The versatility lies here. Serve it in it's naked glory, simple and lush or..
- When making the custard, use a darker brown sugar if you want ( like Billingtons dark muscavado). You could also use white sugar, caster of course.
- As I said, above, you can use Creme Fraiche instead of sour cream or even thickened cream. ( if necessary) Add grated or melted chocolate to the base before the bananas, or sprinkle with praline.
- The top can be succesfully bruleed by adding a sprinkling of sugar and using the blow torch, or cover the finished top with shaved chocolate.....
