Cooking Directions

  • Heat the oven to 400°F.  Coarsely mash the bananas and syrup in a medium bowl with a fork.
  • Unfold 1 pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry sheet in half lengthwise. Roll each piece into a 15x5-inch rectangle. Cut each rectangle crosswise to make 3 (5-inch) squares. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet, making 12 in all.
  • Spoon the banana mixture into the center of the pastry squares. Fold the corners to the center over the filling and twist tightly to seal.  Place the filled pastries onto a baking sheet.
  • Stir the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush the pastries with the milk and sprinkle with the sugar mixture.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.  Remove the pastries from the baking sheet and let cool on wire racks for 10 minutes.
