Banana & ginger tatins

Looks like you've called in the professionals to help but this super smart dessert takes just 30 minutes and five ingredients

  • 200g golden caster sugar
  • 375g ready-rolled puff pastry
  • 1cm piece of root ginger , peeled and finely grated
  • 4 large bananas , thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • vanilla ice cream or creme fraiche to serve

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. To make the caramel sauce, dissolve the sugar in a heavy saucepan with 60ml water, then boil rapidly for about 5-7 minutes until it starts to turn golden. Remove from the heat - it will continue to colour.
  2. Cut six 10cm circles out of the pastry. Put a pinch of ginger into each of 6 holes of a Yorkshire pudding tin. Spoon some caramel sauce on top, then cover with the banana slices and top with a pastry circle. Press the pastry gently into the tins. Brush the pastry with some milk and bake for about 20 minutes until crisp and golden. Invert onto a serving plate while the caramel is still hot (use a spatula to help you hoick out any banana that gets stuck). Serve with vanilla ice cream or crème fraîche.
