Chef Nathan Van de Belt at Chef's Pencil gives a little background for this really lovely dessert.According to him it is a simple and easy dessert to make, the sugars caramelise when this is baked and you get this great golden, sweet glaze over the top of the tart when it is turned out. Ingredients:
2.6 oz. butter |
1.3 oz brown sugar |
1.3 oz sugar |
4 ripe banana |
