Banana & Baileys bread & butter pud
This is my ultimate new twist on that classic British pud that everyone loves. I've added a super-gooey layer of bananas, pecans and chocolate, and with the addition of Baileys, this is definitely my new guilty pleasure. Just be really careful when using the blowtorch – when it lights the sugar, it can flare up unexpectedly and I don't want you singeing your eyebrows like Jonathan Ross almost did!
