Filipino-style, fried plantain egg rolls have been my favorite dessert since I was a child. Crispy, sugary shells with soft and warm plantains inside. They are a breeze to make when you have everything set up in advance. They can be frozen in bulk and fried without any defrosting.

- 0.25 cups water

Place 1 wrapper on a clean work surface with 1 corner facing you. Coat 1 plantain piece in sugar; place on wrapper 1 inch from corner facing you. Fold corner over plantain; roll up halfway. Fold in 2 side corners; continue rolling until near the top. Moisten top corner with wet fingers; finish rolling. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
