Banana Lumpia Turon with Caramel Sauce
This Filipino dessert features sweet bananas wrapped in crispy lumpia wrappers, deep-fried, and drizzled with homemade caramel sauce.
Ingredients
- 6 ripe bananas, cut in half lengthwise
- 12 lumpia wrappers
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Pinch of salt
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, water, butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens into a caramel sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place a banana half on a lumpia wrapper.
- Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the banana. Fold in the sides, then roll it up tightly. Moisten the edge with water to seal.
- Heat oil in a frying pan or deep fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- Carefully place the lumpia in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce and serve warm.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas for the best texture.
- If your lumpia wrappers are dry, brush the edges with water to help them seal.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to ensure crispy lumpia.
