Banana Toffee Pie..aka..Banofee Pie

I saw it on Jamie Oliver 30 minute meal programe one evening and I told myself..I just got to do it. It look so deliciously sinful! Plus..it is very easy to do.

So, I google the recipe the next day but there are things in the ingredients that I just don't have at the moment. I need to improvise. In baking or cooking, you need to learn to improvise as you're sure not going to have every ingredients in your pantry every single day ..unless you run a supermarket. :)

Anyway..here are the things you need;

To make the pie crust;
- 13/4 cup of flour
- 2 tsp of granulated sugar
- 3/4 tsp of salt
- 6 tbsp cold butter, cut into cubes
- 1/4 cup of shortening ( I replace this with butter)
- 7 to 8 tbsp ice cold water

1. Mix flour, sugar & salt together. Use your hand, mix all the butter (since I do not use shortening) in the dry mixture. Mix it until it comes together in a clump when you squeeze it.

2. Drizzle in ice cold water and rake through mixture until finger is moist. Add the ice cold water one tbsp at a time. Dough is moist enough when it is moistened through but not wet when it is press. Do not overwork the dough or else it get too hard.

3. Wrap the dough in a string wrap and press it into a flat disk. Place it in the refrigerator for 30 minute. 

4. After 30 minute, place the dough in a pie pan. Press it gently on the pan. Press the base of the crust with fork to release the trap air. Then place aluminium sheet on top of the crust and weigh it down with some beans..I'm using red bean. This is to prevent the crust to raise up when baking. Bake it for 20-25 min in a 190C. 

For the toffee filling;

- 1 can of condense milk
- 70 gm ( 1/3 cup) of brown sugar
- 50 gm butter

1. Cook all the ingredient in a pan over a medium heat. Stir it constantly until it is brownish in colour and until it is thickened. Do not let it boil or burn. 

2. Let it cool of a bit for 5 minute and then pour into the baked pie crust just now.

For the topping;

- 1cup of double cream
- dashes of chocolate

1. Whipped the cream until it thickened. If you using double cream, it won't take you long to get the thick mixture. 

2. Pour it on top of the toffee filling as much as you like. Then top it with dashes of grated or roll chocolate.

There you goes. This is my improvise recipe ok. If you want the original one, you can look for it in Jamie Oliver 30 minute meal. Happy trying!

And there goes one slice..
