I followed the recipe exactly, but my elephant ears didn't turn out as pictured. They were still good, but not as fluffy as I expected.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my elephant ears turned out flat and greasy. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the elephant ears came out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
