Elephant Ears

Now the neighborhood festival season is here. I look forward to this yearly tradition and the arrival of Elephant Ears. What is this you ask? well, it is the dieters nightmare, but the best tasting fried dough you can ever imagine. It is deep fried yeast dough smothered with powdered sugar and if you are lucky it has cinnamon sugar on it as well. It is as big or bigger then a 12 inch paper plate that usually comes with and the shape and the size all depends on who stretches the yeasty dough. If you haven't tried it be adventurous and try it at least once in your lifetime.
