Ingredients

  • 7/8 cup butter cold
  • 1 5/8 cups flour
  • 6 1/16 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 6 bananas

Method

  • Prepare the pastry dough the day before, or use one that is ready-made.
  • To make the dough, place all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend for approximately 20 seconds on medium speed.
  • Form the pastry into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for approximately 30 minutes.
  • Dust the work surface with flour and roll out the dough into a rectangle.
  • Fold the dough into thirds and continue folding the dough in on itself. Repeat this process 3 or 4 times.
  • Refrigerate overnight. You also have the option to freeze the dough.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
  • Roll out the dough into a rectangle and fold in the edges.
  • Place the dough on a tray and bake until it is a light golden brown.
  • While the dough is baking, make the caramel by placing the sugar in a pan and heating over a medium flame.
  • When the edges of the sugar begin to brown and caramelize, begin mixing the sugar with a whisk, stirring constantly. Add the cream, continuing to stir over a low heat for about 5 to 7 minutes. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
  • Peel the bananas and cut them into lengthwise strips.
  • Pour some caramel over the pastry and top it with the bananas, spread out evenly.
  • Drizzle the pastry and bananas with more caramel and smooth out the mixture.
  • Place it in the oven for 4 minutes.
