Add Step-by-Step Photos	Vicschick / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago These are really good! My best friend in Junior High School used to make these with her mom and used to bring me some for lunch. Later she came over to my house and taught me how to make them. She is from the Philipines but I DON"T know if they made... More Prep:10m Cook:5m Servings:12	Vicschick

Ingredients

3 ripe plantains (look for yellow plantains that have black marks all over, these are extremely sweet and soft)

12 spring roll pastry wrappers

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup of sugar (you might not need the whole amount so use a little at a time)

corn oil for frying

Directions

Cut each plantain crosswise into three equal pieces and then slice each piece lengthwise into three more pieces

set up work area by placing spring roll pastry wrappers on one plate, sugar in small plate, water in little bowl and an empty plate or cutting board for rolling the spring rolls.

place one pastry wrapper on flat surface

roll 1 or two pieces of sweet plantain in sugar to coat

place plantain piece(s) on one corner of the wrapper, folding over that corner to cover the plantain

fold over the two adjacent corners, THIS SHOULD LOOK LIKE AN OPEN ENVELOPE WITH THE PLANTAIN BEING THE CONTENTS OF THE ENVELOPE.

roll the side with the filling over until it reaches the other corner

dip your fingers in the water and moisten the corner and press against the roll to seal

repeat these steps until you have about 12 rolls ( you may have plantain pieces left over or spring roll wrappers depending on the amount in package...feel free to make more!!!)

heat corn oil in small pan over medium heat

place rolls carefully in hot oil and cook on one side until light brown then turn to cook the other side (THESE BURN EASILY SO WATCH CAREFULLY)

REMOVE FROM OIL WITH SLOTTED SPOON AND DRAIN ON PAPER TOWEL
