Comment préparer Fried Dough Elephant Ears
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add 1 teaspoon salt, 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting), and 1/4 cup vegetable oil to the yeast mixture.
- Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to prevent sticking.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out to 1/8 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
- Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into desired shapes (elephant ears, squares, etc.).
- Cover and let the cut dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer with about 3 inches of vegetable oil. Heat to 360°F (182°C).
- Carefully add 2-3 elephant ears to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to burn!
- Remove the elephant ears from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, brush with melted butter and generously sprinkle with your choice of toppings: cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, lemon juice, mini chocolate chips, honey, and/or berries.
