Banana and passionfruit snails are a delicious and unique treat that combine the tropical flavors of banana and passionfruit with a light, buttery dough. Perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack, these delightful pastries are as fun to make as they are to eat. Here's how you can whip up a batch of these tasty snails at home.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour with the butter. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the milk to the mashed bananas and mix well.
- Pour the banana and milk mixture into the flour and butter mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough gently for a minute or until it is smooth.
- Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1 cm (0.4 in) thick.
- Spread the passionfruit pulp evenly over the surface of the rolled-out dough.
- Starting from one of the longer sides, roll the dough up tightly into a log.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1.5-2 cm (0.6-0.8 in) thick "snails" or rounds.
- Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the snails are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the snails to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy these delicious banana and passionfruit snails warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is cold before incorporating it into the flour; this helps create a flaky texture.
- Mash the bananas thoroughly to maintain an even consistency throughout the dough.
- Use fresh passionfruit if possible for the best flavor, but canned or frozen passionfruit can work as well.
- Chill the dough briefly if it becomes too warm and sticky while shaping the snails.
- Bake the snails until they are golden brown for a crispy exterior and a soft, tender interior.
There you have it - a batch of delectable Banana and Passionfruit Snails ready to be enjoyed. These pastries are perfect for serving at a brunch or as a delightful dessert. The combination of bananas and passionfruit provides a tropical twist that is sure to please any palate. Enjoy your homemade treats!
