Do you want to know how to make a homemade elephant ear?

ELEPHANTS EARS!!





1 1/4 cups milk


1/4-1/2 cup butter


1 package active dry yeast


3/4 cup granulated sugar


1/4 cup water (105 to 115 degrees F.)


5 1/2-6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


1 teaspoon salt


1 dash freshly grated nutmeg


3 large eggs, lightly beaten


vegetable oil (for frying)


confectioners' sugar or cinnamon sugar





16-20 elephant ears





2 hours 20 minutes 2 hrs 15 mins prep





Heat milk with butter until butter melts.


Set aside to cool to lukewarm.


Stir yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar into warm water and let stand until foamy, about 5 to 10 minutes.


In a large bowl, combine milk and yeast mixtures with 2 1/2 cups flour, salt, and nutmeg.


Stir until smooth.





Cover and let stand until bubbly, 30 minutes.





Stir in beaten eggs, then add additional flour to make a soft but not sticky dough.


Turn dough onto a floured board and knead until smooth, supple, and elastic, about 8 minutes.


Return dough to bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until dough is doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.


Punch down and divide into 4 pieces.


Divide each piece into 4 or 5 pieces.


Put several inches of oil in a large, deep pan such as a chicken fryer or heavy dutch oven.


Heat to about 360 degrees F.


Work each ball of dough with the hands, shaping into a large disk, about 10 inches long and 6 inches wide.


Fry one at a time, turning once, until nicely browned.


Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar or cinnamon sugar while hot.


Serve at once.
