I went and found my funnel cake recipe and found that it almost exactly matches cindy's, so I won't waste time typing it again, but what are elephant ears?

elephant ears are almost the same as funnel cake except instead of it being all funny looking like funnel cake it is one big round "cake" They are soooo good!

I was just on another site and I was reading this recipe when I clicked back to big big and saw your request, so here you go. I have not tried this, but,

EASY FUNNEL CAKES:

SUPPLIES:

cooking oil
kitchen funnel
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
2 cup whole milk
3 2/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder

DIRECTIONS:

pour 2 inches of oil into large pan
heat on Medium or Medium-High

Combine eggs and sugar
Slowly add milk and beat mixture
add all dry ingredients
beat untill smooth

Hold finger over opening of funnel and pour mixture into it (hint...only put enough batter for one cake at a time so you can lay funnel down once batter is in oil)

hold funnel above oil and carefully remove finger..move funnel around creating design

let cook untill golden brown on one side then flip and cook same on other side

remove from oil and drain on paper towel

top with powdered sugar or anything else youd like.

FOR ELEPHANT EARS...

I was at my in-laws a couple of weeks ago and we wanted these so bad so we took frozen bread dough, (frozen dinner rolls dough) we unthawed the dough in the microwave (wrapped it in saran wrap that had been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray), rolled them out and we put them in heated vegetable oil and fried them. Then we sprinkled them with cinnomon and sugar. Wha La, there was elephant ears.
