• Banana Egg/Spring Rolls (super easy)

  Ingredients:
  -Egg roll wraps or even crepes work
  -Bananas
  -Cinnamon
  -Sugar
  -Neutral oil, such as canola oil
  -Condensed milk or chocolate syrup (optional)

  After peeling a banana, cut off the rounded ends.  Depending on the
  size of the egg roll wraps, the banana may need to be further cut to
  fit it in the wrap.  Try to use a banana that is fairly straight, as a
  curved one might be harder to roll nicely.  Place it close to the edge
  of the wrap.  Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on the banana and wrap, and
  then roll it up and fold it so it is all enclosed. 

  Turn on the stove to maybe medium (may vary per stove ), and fill the
  bottom of a pan with oil, maybe a centimeter and a half high?  Careful
  not to turn it too high in case it boils/splatters --> you could get
  burned! D:!  Carefully put the made egg roll in the oil.  Use
  chopsticks or some sort of utensil to rotate it once one side becomes
  crispy and golden brown.

  When removing them, place them on a plate with a napkin (preferably a
  sturdy one, otherwise paper might get stuck to it)--this'll allow some
  of the excess oil to be drained off and not make your plate too gross. 
  After it's cooler, you can remove the napkin.  These wraps are good
  with condensed milk drizzled over them (or dipping them in condensed
  milk), or chocolate syrup.  The bananas can be replaced with
  strawberries, which also taste pretty good cooked.    (Or, you can
  alternate slices of bananas with slices of strawberries).
