“Turon Puff: A sweet journey through layers of flavor and texture.”

Ingredients

  • 1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 large bananas, sliced diagonally
  • 1 cup cassava or plantain strips
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • Egg wash (1 egg beaten with a tablespoon of water)
  • Cooking oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, toss together banana slices, cassava or plantain strips, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until everything is well-coated.

  2. Roll the Puffs: Cut each sheet of puff pastry into four equal squares. Place a spoonful of the banana-cassava mixture in the center of each square. Fold diagonally to form a triangle, ensuring the filling is sealed inside. Press edges firmly with a fork or your fingers to seal.

  3. Egg Wash and Chill: Brush the top surface of each puff lightly with egg wash. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.

  4. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  5. Bake: Bake the puffs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Rotate the tray halfway through baking for even browning.

  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the Turon Puffs to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm with a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
