Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Banoffee Pie

Banoffee Pie is surely up there with ambrosia as the food of the Gods and is surprisingly easy to make.

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 4 hours for the toffee, then 15 minutes, plus chilling

Ingredients
400g tin condensed milk
150g digestive biscuits
75g butter
3 large bananas
284ml carton double cream
Dark chocolate, to decorate (I use Cadbury's Highlights: Fudge)

Instructions
Put the can of milk, unopened, in a large pan, cover with water, bring to the boil and boil for 4 hours, topping up with boiling water from the kettle as needed. Remove and leave to cool.

Put the digestives in a clean plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Melt the butter in a small pan, add the biscuits, mix, and press into the base of a 20cm flan tin. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Open the can of condensed milk, which will have turned to toffee. Spread this over the biscuit layer.

Peel and thinly slice the bananas, and arrange in a layer over the toffee. Finally, whip the cream until thick and spread over the bananas. Decorate with either dark chocolate or like me, a sprinkling of Cadbury's Highlights: Fudge.

Eat, Saviour, enjoy.

Repeat as necessary.
