Instructions

Peel the bananas and cut each one in half lengthwise. Sprinkle them with cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
Place half a banana in the centre of a wrapper, then sprinkle it with a spoonful of brown sugar.
Roll the wrapper tightly, folding in the sides, to make a sealed roll.
Repeat with the remaining bananas and wrappers.
Heat the oil in a deep pan to about 170 °C. Fry the rolls for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden.
Drain them on kitchen paper.
In a small clean pan, melt the brown sugar for the caramel with 2 tablespoons of water, then roll the turons in the still-warm caramel.
Let them cool for 2 minutes before serving, the caramel should set slightly.
