Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Puff Pastry
Thaw the Puff Pastry:
Allow the puff pastry to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes if frozen. It should be soft enough to work with but still cool.
Roll It Out:
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm).
Cut Into Strips:
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into strips about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide and 5-6 inches (13-15 cm) long.
Step 2: Preparing the Filling
Slice the Bananas:
Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even pieces for consistent baking.
Mix the Cinnamon-Sugar:
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of sugar with ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Adjust cinnamon based on your taste preference.
