Banana Pasta and Dulce de Leche in the Airfryer:

1. Peel and roughly mash the banana in a deep dish, squeeze a few drops of lemon and mix.
2. Place the dough on a cutting board.
3. Place the dulce de leche in the center of one side of the dough and spread it out slightly, without adding too much filling to avoid it leaking out during cooking.
4. Spread the banana puree on top.
5. Using a brush, apply a little water to the edges of the dough.
6. Fold the dough in half and press the edges together to seal.
7. Using a fork or your fingers, gently press the edges of the pastry so that it is well sealed, being careful not to pierce the pastry.

Pastry in the Airfryer:

1. Heat the Airfryer for 5 minutes at 200°C.
2. Lightly brush the entire surface of the pastries with a drizzle of oil so that they become crispy and golden once cooked.
3. Arrange the pastries in the basket, one next to the other, without stacking them, leaving space between them to allow air to circulate – depending on the quantity to be cooked, do this step in several stages.
4. Place the basket in the Airfryer drawer and insert it into the appliance preheated to 200°C.
5. Bake the pastries for about 7-10 minutes or until golden brown, the time depends on the power of your equipment.

FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:

1. Remove the pastries from the basket and pass them in the sugar.
2. Serve the Banana and dulce de leche shortcrust pastry in the Airfryer hot for a snack or as a dessert.
