Makes one 8-inch pie.
Ingredients:
For the topping:
1/3 c. of butter
1/4 c. of white sugar
2 Plantation Plant bananas
For the crust:
1 c. of all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. of salt
4 tbsps. of white sugar
1/3 c. of cold butter
about 1/4 c. of iced water
In a saucepan, melt the butter. When melted, sprinkle the sugar and cook over medium heat until amber (light brown) in color. Do not cook for too long or the syrup will taste bitter. Pour the syrup into an eight-inch round baking pan. Never mind if you can see brown bits separating from the oil. None of that will matter.
Peel and slice the bananas and arrange on the syrup-coated bottom of the baking pan.
Make the crust.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and sugar. Cut the butter into small pieces and work into the flour until the mixture is crumbly. Pour in the iced water, a tablespoonful at a time, while mixing until the mixture forms loose lumps.
Pour the crust mixture into the baking pan and press with your hands to form and semi-compact crust. DO NOT press too hard or the syrup will seep through the dough.
Bake the pie in a preheated 350oF oven for 30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
As soon as the pie is out of the oven, place an inverted plate over it then invert the pie onto the plate.
Serve warm with coffee or tea. Delicious.

Ms.Connie, nde na po ako nag white sugar since my GDM (Diabetic during pregnancy) muscovado sugar na ang gamit namin. Should i add more o less than the recipe? thanks again Ms. Connie!
The same, I think, although your syrup will be darker.
This looks good…really good! Esp. with some coffee-flavored ice cream too
hi, when you say butter, is it supposed to be unsalted? also how do you measure salt if my salt is iodized? thanks!
Yes, unsalted butter.
Re salt: With a measuring spoon, of course.
re salt how do i measure iodized salt cos i know its a different measurement if your recipe calls for standard rock salt.
also, i have some lakatan bananas, can i use the instead?
What makes you think I used rock salt?
You can lacatan bananas but I don’t know how it’ll turn out.
Am guessing regular saba can be used also? What other fruits will work with this recipe?
Yes, ripe saba. And apples, I guess. Basta fruits without too much water and which can retain their shape.
oh so you use iodized salt pala
Very rarely does a baking recipe call for rock salt, actually. Sea salt, sometimes, but refined salt is the kind most often used.
hi,connie!!!!it’s been a long time since i last visited your blog.wow,so many new recipes to try and oh so yummy to look at!!
i’ll try to look for this variety of banana when i do my grocery-shopping at sm hypermart in fairview.looks more yummy than using pineapple rings…..
salamat uli for another wonderful recipe,connie!!!!
