Treats with a twist

Banana & tahini bread & butter pudding

Not everyone is a fan of raisins, so I wondered what else I could add to a classic bread and butter pud. I instantly thought of banana – pillowy and sweet, and eternal friend to honey and cinnamon, they work beautifully in this comfort-food classic. The earthy sesame flavour of tahini grounds the sweetness for an added twist.

■ Serves 6

50g butter, plus extra for the tin
 8 slices slightly stale white bread
 100g tahini
 2 large bananas, sliced on the diagonal
