Elephant Ears

We love to make these after a zoo trip, the kids all love them! Adapted from here. 

Ingredients

2 C flour

3 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2/3 C warm milk

2 TB melted butter

1 TB sugar

vegetable oil for frying

Cinnamon/sugar for sprinkling

Directions

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and sugar until a ball forms. You can add a bit of water if it's too dry or flour if it's too wet. Cover with plastic wrap or waxed paper and set aside for 15 minutes. 

Knead dough several times on a floured surface and divide equal into 8 pieces. Use a rolling pin to flatten each piece. 

Cook in about 1/2 inch heated vegetable oil. Cook about 1 minute on each side or until golden brown. Cool on paper towels and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar while warm.
