Banana lumpia or Turon is a Philippine dessert, made of thinly sliced bananas, a slice of jackfruit, dusted with brown sugar, rolled in crepe and fried. Brown sugar is further added while frying for additional sweetness.

Makes 12 pieces

Preparation time : 10 minutes

Cooking time : 15 minutes

Ingredients :

12 spring roll wrappers
6 cooking bananas
60 ml (¼ cup) water
40 g (¼ cup) dark brown sugar or palm sugar
250 ml ( 1 cup) oil

Cooking Procedure :

1. Steam the spring roll wrappers for about 5 minutes.
2. Cut each banana lengthwise into two. Mix water with 20 g (2 tablespoons) of the brown sugar. Moisten the edges of each spring roll wrapper with the sugar-water mixture. Place 1 slice of the banana onto a wrapper. Sprinkle a little of the brown sugar over the banana. Fold the top edge of the wrapper over the banana and roll tightly,sealing the edges. Sprinkle a little of the brown sugar lightly on the wrappers. Repeat the remaining bananas and wrappers.
3. Heat oil in wok over medium heat for 1 minute,then reduce heat to low and fry the wrapped bananas. Use low heat so the bananas will have time to cook before before the wrapper turns golden brown. When the wrappers brown,remove from heat and drain on paper towels. Cool slightly before serving.
