Pastry Dough
Mix all dry ingredients together
Add butter and gently cut in.
Add milk, discard and mashed banana. combine to make a cohesive dough.
Knead for 5 mins, adding any additional flour needed to make a soft dough.

Filling
Add brown sugar, butter and mashed banana to a bowl. Beat or whisk until smooth. Spread half on the rolled out dough. Set other half aside.
Roll up dough and cut into rolls. This dough is VERY soft so sometimes it helps to put in the fridge to firm up. Just slap the rolls into a cast iron and don’t worry about the appearance too much!
Bake at 350 for 30–35 minutes.

Meanwhile place the other half of the filling in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil until thickened and set aside (it’ll thicken more as it cools).
Pour over slightly cooled rolls!
