Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, add the self-raising flour.
- Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the milk to the flour-butter mixture. Stir with a fork until the dough starts to come together.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead lightly for about 1-2 minutes, just until the dough is smooth and uniform.
- Roll the dough into a ball and then flatten slightly to form a disc.
- Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick.
- Cut the rolled-out dough into squares, approximately 5x5 inches (12x12 cm).
- Place a few slices of banana in the center of each dough square.
- Add a generous sprinkle of chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips over the bananas.
- Fold each dough square over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle, depending on your preference.
- Press the edges of the dough together firmly to seal, using a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch and to ensure a tight seal.
- Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Remove the turnovers from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure your butter is cold when mixing with the flour; this helps create a flaky pastry.
- If your dough feels too sticky, dust a little extra flour as you roll it out.
- Try to use ripe but firm bananas for the best texture.
- You can use a fork to crimp the edges of the turnovers to ensure they are well-sealed.
- Brush a little milk or egg wash on top of the turnovers before baking to give them a beautiful golden-brown color.
Once you've baked these delectable choc-banana turnovers to a perfect golden brown, let them cool slightly before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm, allowing the dark chocolate to ooze slightly when you take a bite. Whether you're making them for a special occasion or just because, these turnovers are sure to impress!
