Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the dough comes together. Press the dough into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, creating an even layer. Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.

  2. In a saucepan, whisk together the eggs, milk, cornstarch, and powdered sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the custard cool slightly.

  3. Arrange the sliced bananas in a single layer over the baked crust. Pour the custard over the bananas, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.

  4. Bake the Bananen Schnitten for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the custard is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and set completely.

  5. Once chilled, slice the Bananen Schnitten into squares or rectangles. Dust the top with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a beautiful finish. Serve these delightful treats as a dessert or a sweet snack with a cup of coffee or tea.
