Description
Turon is one of the very popular banana merienda (snack) of the Filipinos. They used a kind of banana called Saba, it's a thick and shorter than the normal banana, and similar to the red banana, then it is rolled with paper-thin wrapper (lumpia wrapper). After it is rolled, it's coated with sugar then it's deep-fried so it gives the crunch to the pastry.

 * 1/2 cup langka (jackfruit) preserves (optional)
