Bananas filled with your favourite sweet spread, wrapped in pastry and baked.
Take the pastry out of the fridge and remove from the box and plastic wrap. Leave it rolled whilst it comes to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6 (400f / 200c).
Peel a banana, hold it firmly, then using the handle end of a teaspoon, carefully make a groove along the top of the banana. Repeat with all the bananas.
Fill the groove with your chosen spread. Add nuts or chocolate chips if desired. Fill the remaining bananas (the same or different).
Carefully unroll the pastry and mark roughly where it would divide into 4. Your choice now depending on your banana. You can do full length strips any size in width from 1.5cm to 3cm. Cut a strip, then starting at the top of the banana, wrap the pastry around and pinch together, wind the pastry around the banana (like an Egyptian Mummy)! When your strip ends, cut another the same and push the two ends together to join, then continue. Repeat with more strips until the banana is completely covered. Ensure any gaps are pressed together. Now repeat with the other bananas (try different width strips to see which you prefer).
Place your banana mummies on a lined baking tray. Brush the tops with milk if you wish and add nuts or sprinkle with spice (useful if you've made different fillings and want to distinguish them once cooked). Bake for 15-20 minutes (Gas 6). Remove and serve.
Enjoy!
