Betty's Easy Flour Tortilla Elephant Ears
Betty demonstrates how to make Flour Tortilla Elephant Ears. This is a quick and easy way to make a dramatic and delicious snack to serve during a sports event, such as the upcoming Super Bowl!
Easy Flour Tortilla Elephant Ears
10 (6 or 7-inch flour tortillas)
peanut oil, for frying (You may use any vegetable oil.)
6 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside. (This recipe makes plenty of cinnamon sugar mixture, so you may want to start with only 3 tablespoons white sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon to see if that is enough.) Place 1 inch of peanut oil in a skillet and heat to 375 degrees (F). Using tongs, place 1 flour tortilla at a time in hot oil and fry until underside is golden, about 10 to 15 seconds. Turn, and fry other side until equally puffed and golden. Immediately remove from oil and drain on paper toweling. While hot, use a tea strainer to sift sugar/cinnamon mixture over both sides, to taste. Yield: 10 elephant ears. These are best served warm, right after coating, but they may also be served at room temperature. These would be a dramatic addition to your Super Bowl party! --Enjoy! Love, Betty ✿¸.◦. *•.¸.•*¨✿

How to Make Elephant Ears At Home
In this video, I show you how to make elephant ears at home. Depending on what part of the world you are in, they might be called scones, fried bread or Navajo tacos. I prefer to call them scones, but thought elephant ears might connect with more of you. This is the third in a three part series of bread making videos.
When Grandpa and I are making elephant ears or scones as we call them, we like to set up our camp stove outside, but of course it's not necessary for you to do it this way. We just have more fun cooking these fried bread treats this way.
Scones originated in Scotland and are very popular in the United Kingdom. Traditionally, scones are slightly sweet and baked in an oven. Quite often, they will contain fruit such as blueberries or other flavors like cinnamon or chocolate chips. In Utah, they resemble more of a fried bread or elephant ears. Tell us in the comments below what they are called in your local area.

Betty's Sweet and Puffy Elephant Ears
Betty demonstrates how to make Sweet and Puffy Elephant Ears. This is a terrific snack to serve during a sports event, such as the upcoming Super Bowl!
Sweet and Puffy Elephant Ears
¾ cup milk
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 ½ ounces shortening (Crisco)
1 (0.75-ounce) packet active dry yeast
2 cups all-purpose flour
peanut oil, for frying (You may use any vegetable oil.)
confectioner's sugar, for coating (This is the same as icing sugar or powdered sugar.)
In a small saucepan, combine milk, salt, sugar, and shortening. Heat, over medium heat, until shortening melts and sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool until lukewarm (110 degrees [F]). Sprinkle in yeast. Stir and let sit until foamy, about 10 to 15 minutes. Place yeast mixture in large bowl. Stir in flour to make a dough. Place dough on floured surface and knead until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise 30 minutes. Flatten dough into a thick circle. Using a pastry cutter, divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball, which will be about 1 ½ inches across. Roll each ball into a thin circle (or oval). Fry each circle, individually, in 1-inch peanut oil that has been heated to 375 degrees [F] in a skillet. When the bottom side becomes golden, use tongs to turn the dough circle, browning the other side. Remove from oil and drain on paper toweling. While warm, sprinkle elephant ear with confectioner's sugar on both sides and transfer to a serving platter. Repeat the frying and coating process for the remaining dough circles. Yield: 8 elephant ears. These are best served warm, right after coating, but they may also be served at room temperature. These would be a dramatic addition to your Super Bowl party! --Enjoy!
