I have been watching a series on one of the food channels called Perfect....... where each episode is dedicated to what the 2 chefs competing decide is their perfect recipe for different things, i.e. Perfect....Roast Dinner, Perfect.....Pasta etc and this particular episode was about puddings and featured the Aussie chef Bill Grainger.
He made the simplest of puddings using banana's & it looked so delicious, (even the OH wants me to make it!) OH pointed out last night that there are 2 banana's in the fruit bowl that had seen better days so I have decided I am going to give Bill's pud a try tonight!
Apparently the recipe also appears in Rachel Allen's book, Rachel’s Favourite Food at Home but is originally from Bill Granger’s book, Simply Bill
It is a self-saucing, all in one pudding that is baked until the sponge has risen and set, while underneath is hiding a luscious sticky sauce. Apparently If you fancy something sweet, sticky and utterly yummy, you can’t go wrong with this pudding, especially served with good-quality vanilla ice cream. Can't wait to try it!
