Tarte Banane 1.0

I have been craving for pie for a while after I have started watching the TV show Pushing Daisies.  The protagonist of the show is a pie maker who owns a pastry shop called the Pie Hole.  This morning I tried to make some banana pie based on the recipe here.  You will notice that my version is much larger than the little tartlets in the original picture.  I do not think I have made enough batter since I only have 6 strips to cover the top.

Just like any other pie out there, they might look good when whole but crumbles when they are sliced.  The crust is very crumbly and is falling apart.  I believe I should have added more water to make the dough elastic from the beginning, at least that is how the dough looks from the TV show.  The banana paste itself should have been more cooked.  I was getting tired of stirring it over low heat for 15+ min, I did not have the patience to keep stirring until the paste turned into a dark brown colour.  Overall, the banana flavour trumps any mistakes I might have made along the way and I am looking forward to have more slices of my tasty banana pie for the next couple of days.
