Banana Toffee Pie - Revisited

I guess you've read the previous post by Mel. In actuality, the pie DID NOT turn out as I had expected :P. So I consulted the chef (Thanks E!) and here are a few tips to improve the pie:


1) RUB the butter (with your fingers) into the crushed digestive biscuits. E used about half a block. She wisely told me that it would be better if I DIDN'T know the ingredients. I would use butter that has been softened to room temperature for easy of manipulation and that glorious squishy feeling =)

2) KEEP STIRRING the condensed milk (not evaporated, not fresh, not low fat)...unless you like crunchy burnt bits. Also, work quickly with the toffee-ed condensed milk otherwise you'll be stuck with a HUGE lump. Don't say you weren't warned..=)

Go crazy with the recipe. Layer with more biscuits or bananas as desired. The sugar rush is what you seek =)
