Elephant Ears?

When I lived in NYC I lovedddd this food called Elephant Ears, Its like crispy warm dough with cinnamon and sugar on it. They also make something similar to it, but its like a stick of fried dough rolled in cinnamon n sugar.








Where can I find something like them in stores? or make them at home?

Elephant Ears?
Depending on where you live, the bakery sections of Stop %26amp; Shop or Hannaford almost always have them, but be warned, they are not so great. Check out an italian bakery if you have one locally. If not, they are a snap to make at home. Here are a couple recipes I have used, the second one is my favorite!

Reply:i always used to get them at the local bakery at home when i was younger too. only there (carmel, ca) they called them pigs ears.





this is from a website with pictures. they don't call for cinnamon, but i would just mix some up with the sugar.





Lots of granulated sugar


Puff pastry


Parchment Paper (aka baking paper) or a Silpat baking mat





Preheat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of sugar over your workstation. Roll out the puff pastry to about 10X12 inches. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of sugar (and spices if using) over the dough.





Roll up the left vertical side inward, stopping in the middle of the dough. Roll up the right side of the dough. The two rolls should be meeting at the middle and touching. Press the two sides together gently and let the dough chill in the fridge for at least half an hour. Repeat with any more puff pastry you may have.





Starting at one end, cut off pieces of the log, in slices about 1/2 inch in thickness. Lightly sprinkle sugar onto each side. Pinch and press the sides of the two rolls together to ensure that they don't unroll during baking. Place on large parchment lined baking sheets, or a baking sheet lined with a Silpat. They will increase size dramatically, so leave plenty of room between each cookie and only bake a dozen at a time.





Set the tray in the middle of the oven. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the sugar has caramelized. Allow them to cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy.





****you can buy puff pastry in the frozen isle at your grocery store
Reply:i dont know if this is the kind you eat but what i do is i buy some of the dough that is used to make dumplings and fry it!


when it is nice and crispy i take it out and sprinke some Powdered suger (if you dont have powdered suger take regular sugar and grind it in a grinder it will become powdery)





enjoy and hope this helps!
