About

The flavor of bananas macerated in sugar and rum goes perfectly with caramel and buttery puff pastry. All the elements for this may be assembled the day before, but the puff pastry will taste best if you bake it on the day you plan to serve it. This rich dessert is the perfect ending for either an elegant dinner party or a simple meal.

Method

To make the pastry layer, roll the dough out into a 10 x 15-inch rectangle. Place it on one of the paper-covered pans and refrigerate it for an hour.
After it has rested for about 40 minutes, set a rack at the middle level of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees
