Our homage to the popular Filipino snack turon uses store-bought egg-roll skins to wrap the cinnamon sugar-encrusted bananas. The fruit becomes creamy and almost custard-like during frying.

Time 35m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 firm-ripe bananas, peeled
12 fresh or frozen egg-roll wrappers (8 inches each), cut into 6-inch squares
Safflower or other neutral-flavored oil, for frying
Honey and confectioners' sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Cut each banana in half crosswise, then in half again lengthwise to create four pieces.
  • Lay a wrapper on a clean work surface in a diamond shape, with one corner facing you. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp kitchen towel.) Roll a piece of banana in cinnamon sugar, then arrange horizontally about 2 inches from bottom corner of wrapper. Fold bottom corner over banana, then fold in sides over banana. Starting at the bottom, roll up wrapper to form a tight cylinder around banana. Brush top corner with water and press to seal. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining wrappers, banana pieces, and cinnamon sugar.
  • Add enough oil to a heavy, deep-sided skillet (preferably cast iron) to come 1/2 inch up sides. Heat oil over medium-high until a deep-fry thermometer reads 335 degrees. Working in batches, add lumpia, seam-side down, and fry, turning often, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to drain. Drizzle generously with honey and dust with confectioners' sugar; serve immediately.

BANANA LUMPIA

Simple, deep-fried banana dessert. I'm unsure of cooking time because I've never timed myself. I use frozen lumpia wrappers I find at my local Asian store. P.S. This is great with ice cream.

BANANA LUMPIA

These are absolutely amazing! I have to make them in small batches because I can not stop eating. They are great for a dessert or to use as a party for a finger food. I will be serving them at my party this coming Friday night, and I am certain they will be a hit.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large cooking bananas (4 lengthwise slices each)
1 pkg spring roll/eggroll wrappers
1 c brown sugar, light
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
32 oz salad oil (for deep frying)

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and slice each banana into 4 lengthwise stripes. Place them on a plate. Open and separate the wrappers and set aside.
  • 2. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon on a separate platter. Next, coat the banana on each side with the sugar mix. Then wrap each coated banana like a burrito. Set aside. (repeat for the rest of your sliced bananas)
  • 3. Heat about 3cups of oil on a medium sauce pan or in a deep fryer. Then reduce the heat to medium low. Drop in 3 or 4 into the hot oil until the wrap turn golden brown on each side.
  • 4. Using a thong, carefully pick up the banana from the pan and place them on a lined paper towel platter. Let cool and serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Ripeness ensures a sweeter and softer filling.
  • Choose the right lumpia wrapper: Spring roll wrappers or wonton wrappers work well.
  • Prepare the filling in advance: This allows the flavors to blend and chill before wrapping.
  • Don't overfill the lumpia: Too much filling can make them difficult to wrap and fry.
  • Seal the lumpia tightly: This prevents the filling from leaking out during frying.
  • Fry the lumpia in hot oil: This ensures a crispy exterior and a cooked filling.
  • Drain the lumpia on paper towels: This removes excess oil and makes them less greasy.
  • Serve the lumpia with your favorite dipping sauce: Sweet and sour sauce is a popular choice.

Conclusion:

Banana lumpia is a delightful combination of sweet and crispy flavors. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create this delicious treat at home. Experiment with different fillings and dipping sauces to find your perfect combination. Whether you enjoy them as an appetizer, snack, or dessert, banana lumpia is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So put on your apron and get ready to indulge in this Filipino delicacy!
