QUICK ELEPHANT EARS

Our eight children love helping make these sweet crunchy treats. We fry flour tortillas for a few seconds in oil, then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. They're fun to make for a large group. I usually do the frying, then have one of the older kids add the coating.

Time 10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
oil (for frying)
10 flour tortillas (7 inches)

Steps:

  • Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl or large plate; set aside.
  • In a skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil.
  • Place one tortilla at a time in skillet.
  • Cook for 5 seconds; turn and cook 10 seconds longer or until browned.
  • Place in sugar mixture and turn to coat.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-duty stand mixer or hand mixer with a dough hook attachment to make the dough. This will help to knead the dough properly and prevent it from becoming too sticky.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is no longer sticky.
  • Be sure to let the dough rise for the full amount of time specified in the recipe. This will help the dough to develop flavor and become light and airy.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a floured rolling pin and a lightly floured work surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
  • If the dough is too thin, it will be difficult to handle and may tear. If the dough is too thick, it will not cook evenly.
  • Fry the elephant ears in hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the elephant ears will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the elephant ears warm with your favorite toppings, such as powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or fruit preserves.

Conclusion:

Elephant ears are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you can make elephant ears that are crispy, fluffy, and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive treat, give elephant ears a try!
