These elephant ears were a bit too greasy for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Not bad, but not great. The elephant ears were a bit dry and the cinnamon sugar topping was too sweet for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly and my elephant ears turned out perfectly! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with powdered sugar and they were a hit with my family.
