Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Slice the bananas in half horizontally. Unroll the pastry and lay the banana halves on top, cut-side-up. Cut around each half, leaving a 2cm border. Put the banana pastries on a baking sheet and brush the borders with egg. Sprinkle the tops of the bananas with demerara sugar.
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pasty is puffed and golden and the bananas are caramelised. Softly whip the cream, icing sugar and vanilla together. Serve two puffs per person with a dollop of cream.

Know-how

You'll get a better rise out of your puff pastry if you 'knock up' the sides. Do this by gently brushing the blade of a knife upwards against the cut pastry edges to separate the layers.
