Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • ⅓ cup milk (more if needed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon (for topping)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
  1. 1
    1. Prepare the Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
    2. Divide and Roll: Divide the dough into 8 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a thin circle, about 5-6 inches in diameter.
    3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about an inch of oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
    4. Fry: Carefully place each rolled dough piece in the hot oil, one at a time. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
    5. Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. While the elephant ears are still warm, dip each side into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
    6. Serve: Enjoy warm for the best taste and crunch!

Note

Tips:

  • Variation: For a fruity twist, try spreading a thin layer of jam or melted chocolate over the elephant ears before sprinkling with cinnamon sugar.
  • Dough Consistency: Ensure the dough is soft but not overly sticky. Add a bit more flour if needed, but avoid making it too dry.
  • Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but they can be kept for up to a day in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven to crisp them up again.
