Peel bananas and slice lengthwise.

Nibbling freshly steamed peanuts and butchi so as to stave off faintness from the heavy work.

Looking as lovely as possible, carefully separate wrappers by peeling apart.

 Sprinkle Turbinado over the bananas.

 Place a slice of banana on a wrapper and fold sides in.

 Roll the banana in the wrapper.

 One completed, uncooked toron.

 Add oil to a heavy wok or heavy skillet.

 Add a little sugar to the hot oil. As the sugar heats it will look like it is coagulating. Just ignore it and as the torons fry a little of the sugar will adhere to the outside of them.

 Add torons to the hot oil. Heat should be medium low. Torons should fry about 4 or 5 minutes until they are golden brown.

 Not too much oil, not too many torons at once.

See how happy this will make you! You'll be even happier when you taste these. A simple yet delicious Filipino treat! We have also made them with a little fresh pineapple in them and less sugar.

Best when eaten warm while they are still very crunchy.

Filmed in the Philippines.
