Method
-
step 1
Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. For the frangipane, cream together the butter and sugar until lightened and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one, scraping down the bowl between each egg. Add the ground almonds.
-
step 2
Use an 8cm circular cookie cutter to cut eight circles from the pastry. Then, use a 7cm cutter to cut a 1cm rim from four of the circles and use egg wash to stick them to the 8cm circles of pastry.
-
step 3
Egg wash the rims and put 1 tbsp of the frangipane in the middle of each pastry. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the edges are puffed up and golden, and the frangipane has cooked.
-
step 4
Next, slice the bananas in half lengthways, fry them in a pan with a knob of butter and finish with 2 tbsp of maple syrup.
-
step 5
Finally, add a big spoon of whipped cream to each of the tarts, put the banana slices on top and finish with a sprinkle of flaked almonds, a drizzle of the maple syrup and a dusting of icing sugar.
