Let’s make a really delicious Banana Pie using the ingredients below and following the step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of wheat flour

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup butter (chilled and cut into cubes)

  • 1 egg

  • 4 to 5 ripe bananas (can be plantain or any other banana of your choice)

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder

  • Juice of half a lemon

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • For the dough, in a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar and salt. 
    Add the cubed cold butter and mix with your hands or a pastry cutter until you have a crumb-like texture.
  • Add the egg to the mixture and continue mixing until the dough starts to come together. 
    Then, work the dough with your hands until it is homogeneous.
  • Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  • While the dough is in the fridge, prepare the filling. 
    Peel the bananas and cut them into slices. 
    Place the banana slices in a bowl and add the brown sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. 
    Mix well to coat the bananas with this sweet mixture.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into two parts. 
    Roll out one of the pieces with a rolling pin on a floured surface until you have a circle large enough to cover the bottom and sides of a pie dish (approximately 23 cm in diameter).
  • Place the dough into the pie pan and gently press it against the bottom and sides. 
    Pour the banana filling over the dough.
  • Roll out the second part of the dough with a rolling pin on a floured surface, forming another circle.
  • Place this second circle of dough over the bananas, closing the pie. 
    Press the edges to seal.
  • Make small cuts on the surface of the dough so that steam can escape during baking.
  • Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 to 50 minutes, or until the pastry is golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
