I swear some of the people on here probably think tart tatin should be made with a biscuit base.

Why would we trust the word of Ian Dowding? The idiot didn’t patent or copyright any aspect of it otherwise he would have been a multimillionaire and The Hungry Monk would still be there!

I refer the honourable lady to European Granny Cumbath 28 , which may cause her to change her opinion.

It may have pie in it's name but it is not a pie.
Shepherd's Pie is also not a pie. Neither is cottage pie.
This is a pie:

That's just silly, I think we all know that 'Tarte tatin' is made with pastry unless this is somehow referring back to @Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo & crusts?

The traditional is a pastry, the better version is the biscuit.

It’s like the Bakewell tart - the newer version is vastly superior to the original.

I have vague recollections of making a "Banoffi style" desert using caramelised condensed milk, cream, bananas and ...Nice biscuits! The recipe was in the No73 annual from the mid 80's.
The evil, dirty bastards.

The optimal boiling time of the condensed milk in the can is actually a minimum of 3 hours. The BISCUIT base chills in the fridge during this time and you very lightly butter the BISCUIT base with the banoffee mix before you arrange the banana slices so that they stick to the BISCUIT base and don’t slide off. Then you dump the rest of the banoffee mixture all over them. Use a dampened spoon to smooth the top before chilling. The cream and chocy toppings can be added later when it’s fully chilled.

Sorry but biscuit base is disgusting wherever it's found.

I also notice the spelling is different. I'd always spelt it as 'Banoffee', but in Snowflake's article it's 'Banoffi'.

Maybe there's room for a compromise? If it's spelt 'Banoffi' it's with a pastry base, and if it's 'Banoffee' it's biscuit.

There. Solved. I'm off to the Middle East to sort them out now.

Nice solution, we will accept it if you switch it around before you head off to Gaza.

A biscuit base I can cope with, I am even wondering abiut a hobnob options (experimental).

But all this talk of chocolate it really sending me over the edge. Coffee people, it had coffee on the top and it's important!
