Banana Rolls

Here's a sweet offering, an all-time favorite Pinoy snack or merienda which can be bought almost anywhere in the Philippines. It is best consumed right after it is fried to enjoy the wrapper's crispiness and while the filling is still warm. It is commonly known as "turon" and sometimes filled with sweetened green or red bean, or a thin slice of fresh jackfruit.

 

 

Ingredients:

Banana (saging na saba) cut into two, lengthwise

Light brown sugar
Spring roll wrappers
Cooking oil for frying

Procedure:
1. Roll the sliced bananas in sugar and wrapped the two halves in spring roll wrapper. Do this until you have wrapped all the bananas.
2. Roll the prepared rolls in sugar just before frying.
3. Fry the rolls until golden brown and drain the excess oil.

At this point, the banana rolls can be eaten as it is or can be served with a drizzle of chocolate syrup and topped with almond slices. Serve immediately.
