Ingredients

9 ounces (230-250g) sheet ready-to-bake rolled puff pastry
3 firm bananas, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch (5mm) slices
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons pastis
3/4 cup (3 1/2 oz/100g) superfine (caster) sugar

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the puff pastry out on a baking sheet, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2

Put the bananas into a bowl with the lemon rind and juice, pastis and sugar and mix gently, then let rest for 5 minutes.
3

Spread the banana slices evenly over the bottom of the puff pastry, leaving about 1/2 inch (1.5cm) clear around the edge and keeping back some of the banana marinade to use later.
4

Transfer the pie to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Brush the remaining marinade over the bananas and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp and the bananas are lightly caramelized.
