Ingredients
Scale
- Egg roll wrappers
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 egg whisked with water (egg wash)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine chopped pecans, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon. Stir until evenly mixed and gooey.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Place 1-2 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly, sealing the edge with a light coating of egg wash.
- In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking.
- Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Use tongs to transfer the cooked egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Let the egg rolls cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
If the wrappers start to dry out while assembling, cover them with a damp paper towel to keep them pliable. For a lighter option, bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
