The dough was crumbly and could not be rolled. I had to add an egg and some more butter to it. The tart ended up very bland and not sweet at all.

I've made these 2 times so far using a frozen puff pastry. The filling is great, I substituted 1tbsp honey for sugar, and added 1/2tsp of baker's spice mix to give it that Devon House spiced flavour. Filling is great, only 4 stars because I haven't tried the pastry.

Really tasty! Made these for an island themed party and they were a hit. You don't even need to serve them with ice cream. Also I decided to add cinnamon to the plantain mix and I sprinkled a little on top along with the sugar...made a huge difference. Definitely add some cinnamon to balance out the nutmeg.
