Homemade crispy cinnamon-sugar elephant ears, just like the county fair! Easy to make and delicious.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 0.375 cup shortening
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 quart oil for frying
  • 6 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions:
  • Create dough by gently heating milk, shortening, sugar, and salt in a saucepan until shortening melts and sugar dissolves. Cool mixture to 110°F (43°C).
  • Add yeast to the cooled dough mixture and allow it to rest until it becomes foamy.
  • Pour the mixture into a large bowl and mix in the flour until a dough forms. Knead the dough until it is smooth, then cover and allow it to rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oil to 375°F (190°C) in a deep fryer or large saucepan.
  • Shape 2-inch dough balls into thin sheets; deep-fry in hot oil until they puff up and turn golden, around 1 to 2 minutes per side. Place on paper towels to drain.
  • Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl to make the topping.
  • Sprinkle the topping over the warm elephant ears, then serve.
