Banana Pie

This one I baked quite some time ago, before the time I took culinary lesson even. I promised Avi, my friend, that I would post the recipe here, and so, after some time of delay, here it is:

This is my own banana pie, so you will see how simple it is. You can always change the fruit here, apple pie is good, but banana is a lot cheaper here. Here's a hint on how to make an amazing pie: don't hesitate to put extra sugar. Pie and diet won't mix.

Ingredients:

For the skin (batter)

500 gr of flour
300gr of sugar
1/2 pack of margarine (around 100 gr)
1 egg
1/4 glass of water
Milk in proportion

For the inside

5 bananas, just cut them
2 spoonful of honey

For the topping on the bananas/ sprinkles (whatever it is, hope you know what I mean)

3 spoonful of sugar
3 spoonful of flour
2 spoonful of cinnamon powder

How to bake

Mix the bananas with honey for some time


For the skin(batter). In separate place, we can mix with fork: flour, sugar, egg and the margarine until it shapes like this.

mmm... the smell is good

Pour the water little by little inside. Don't pour too much, little by little. If it's not sticky in our hands and the batter is easily bent already, don't pour any water anymore. If the water is too much, add more flour and the sugar. Then, take half and make the skin and roll it flat.


Now, for the sprinkles, in another bowl, mix all the cinnamon powder, sugar and flour (This is what makes people fat) :p


Put the inside ingredients, the banana mixed with honey on the skin made of half of the batter, and sprinkle it with the topping ingredients (the sugar, flour and cinnamon powder).


Make another skin from another half of the batter, then close the it with the other skin. The shape can vary as we like, most importantly, there are some holes, so that it won't swell. Put some milk on the skin so that it is shiny after coming out of oven.


Bake in the oven in 220 C


Yummy!!!
