METHOD
-
To make the pastry, add butter and flour to a large bowl, add a pinch of salt then use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
-
Pour in the iced water and lemon juice and mix until just combined (be careful not to overmix or the pastry will not be light and flaky). Roll dough into a ball, flatten to a disc then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour to rest.
-
Roll the pastry between two sheets of baking paper to a 35cm round. Remove top sheet and carefully slide onto a baking tray. Refrigerate for a further hour.
-
Preheat oven to 200ºC (180ºC fan). Sprinkle almond meal over the pastry.
-
Lightly mash the mango and spread over the base, leaving a 5cm border around the edges. Peel bananas and cut in half lengthwise. Roll in coconut sugar to coat then arrange, cut side up, over the mango.
-
Gently lift the pastry edges over the mango banana mixture, pinching together any dough that cracks. A rustic look is perfect for this recipe.
-
Brush pastry edge with egg wash and sprinkle with demerara sugar then dot butter between bananas and bake for 30-35 mins until pastry is golden brown and the filling is caramelised.
-
Allow to cool for 10 mins before drizzling with Nutella® and serving with vanilla ice cream.
