For the tart shell, combine the cold butter and sifted flour in a mixing bowl until crumbly.

Add cold water gradually to form a smooth dough, then wrap in cling film and chill for 20 minutes.

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to form a circle for the tart crust.

Line a tart pan with the rolled dough and prick the base with a fork.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.

Add brown sugar, vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

Pour the banana mixture into the prepared tart shell.

Brush the edges with egg or milk.

Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
