Turon (Caramelized Banana Triangles)

Recipesfull introduces to you: Filipino Recipes. (Turon (Caramelized Banana Triangles)). This simplified banana filling is a favorite Filipino treat. It is also known as turon, using burro bananas cut lengthwise (instead of my sliced version), sprinkled with brown sugar, then rolled like an egg roll. I decided to fold this in a cute triangle shape inspired by my favorite Vietnamese sandwich shop. Drizzle with chocolate or caramel for a prettier presentation.

Directions

Step 1

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in brown sugar and 1 dash of cinnamon. Mix well until bubbles start to appear. Add banana; cook stirring gently until it starts to brown about 5 minutes. Transfer banana to a bowl; roughly slice into 1/4-inch chunks using a spoon. Let filling cool briefly.

Step 2

Whisk water and flour together in a small bowl to make the paste. Mix white sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in another small bowl.

Step 3

Lay 1 lumpia strip on a flat work surface. Place 3/4- to 1 teaspoon of filling in the lower corner of the wrapper; fold 1 corner over the filling and enclose forming a triangle. Fold over the other edges to finish the triangle smearing the last fold with the paste to seal. Place triangle on a plate seam-side down. Repeat with remaining wrappers filling and paste.

Step 4

Heat 2 inches of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the triangles in batches until golden brown about 4 minutes per batch. Drain on a paper towel and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the warm triangles.
