Once upon a time, Megan and I took part in the Strawberry Festival festivities in Marysville, WA. Together we shared the goodness of a well crafted Elephant Ear. Apparently they go by other names, but all the cool kids from Washington call them elephant ears; therefore, that's what they are really called :)
I have a recipe for said elephant ears. What it fails to mention is that you should smother each ear in cinnamon and sugar (preferably the powdered kind)! Here be yon recipe:
Ingredients:
2 cup Flour
1/2 cup Powdered Milk
1 tbsp Baking Soda
3/4 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Shortening
3/4 cup Warm Water
Hot Oil
Directions:
Mix all ingredients to form a ball of dough. Knead about 3-5 minutes by hand. Separate into egg size balls. With rolling pin, roll balls out flat on floured surface to about 1/8 inch. Fry in hot oil till lightly browned on both sides. Makes 12.
I can attest to said goodness. It is good.
