Fried Pastry and Filling

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas and mix with cream cheese, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dough

    In another bowl, combine flour, egg, and water to form a dough. Knead until smooth and elastic. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Roll Out the Dough

    Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball out into thin circles on a floured surface.

  4. 4

    Fill the Pastries

    Place a spoonful of the banana-cream cheese filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold over and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

  5. 5

    Fry the Pastries

    Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the pastries in batches until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Drizzle with honey and dust with cinnamon sugar before serving.
