Sweet Won Tons

Ingredients

• 125 g dates (pitted and chopped)
• 2 bananas (finely chopped)
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds (slightly crushed)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 60 wonton wrappers
• oil (for deep frying)
• 2 tablespoons icing sugar (to dust)

Directions

1. 1

   Mix the dates, bananas, almonds and cinnamon.

2. 2

   Place a heaped teaspoon of the fruit mixture in the centre of a won ton wrapper. Brush the edges lightly with water.

3. 3

   Cover with another won ton wrapper at an angle, so that the wrappers make a star shape.

4. 4

   Press with your fingers as close to the fruit filling as possible to release any trapped air and to seal the won ton.

5. 5

   Repeat with the remaining ingredients. To make the job quicker have a "production line" of ten or so won tons lined up that you fill, cover and seal.

6. 6

   Put the filled won tons on a tray lined with baking paper. Make sure they don't touch as they stick to each other.

7. 7

   Heat oil in a large pan or wok until moderately hot. Add the won tons in small batches and fry for 2 minutes or until crisp and golden.

8. 8

   Drain on paper towels.

9. 9

   Dust with icing sugar before serving.
