How to Cook Turon in Scotland (Recipe Included!)

If you're looking for something sweet + crunchy + banana-y that is quick and easy to make, then "turon" is the snack for you. I grew up eating this Filipino dessert a lot (...a lot...) so making it here in Edinburgh brought me back to my childhood days.

Here are the ingredients and recipe for turon!

+bananas
+spring roll pastry wraps (you can buy them at any Asian market!)
+brown sugar
+vegetable or corn oil
+bowl of water

1) Peel the bananas, and slice them in half. Slice again in the middle to make fourths.
2) Sprinkle brown sugar on the bananas.
3) Lay out a spring roll pastry wrap on a clean surface. Put a sugared banana slice in the corner.
4) Then roll it up! Halfway through, fold the other corners in, and then keep on rolling.
5) Before finishing rolling it up, there should be a corner flap still left. Dip this flap in some water as an adhesive. Then roll it up all the way.
6) Heat up some oil in a wok or pan, and fry the lil' sweet packages!
7) Wait a few minutes (usually 3-5) for them to turn golden brown. Then take the turon out and put them on a plate with paper towels to dry, then transfer to a clean plate.
8) Eat them as is or served with any flavor of ice cream :). Enjoy!
