An elephant ear is a combination of fried dough, butter, cinnamon, sugar. A thin flank of fried sweetness that appears to be approximately as large as a genuine elephant ear, but is a lot more tasteful. You have probably seen these extra-large pieces of fried dough if you’ve ever attended a state fair. It is called elephant ears because they look like elephant ears and because they are so tall. It is easy for us to make our recipe for Fried Elephant Ears, but massive in cinnamon taste.
Elephant ears are huge, thinly stretched pieces of dough just like the Ear of the Elephant, and are fried. They are served with cinnamon sugar or raspberry jam warm but for me, I prefer covered-cinnamon sugar. Elephant Ears are a fair staple you can produce at home. You can easily share these treats with a few people, but you can make a mini-elephant ear that you can enjoy all by yourself.
