How to Make Couldn T Be Easier Elephant Ears
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Generously sprinkle a thick layer of granulated sugar (about 1/2 cup) onto a clean pastry board or work surface.
- Carefully unroll one sheet (14.1 oz) of puff pastry onto the sugared surface. Gently roll it into a neat oblong, about 12x18 inches.
- Fold one long side of the puff pastry inward, towards the center, like a jelly roll.
- Repeat with the other long side, so the two sides meet in the center.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled pastry into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Press each slice firmly into the sugar to coat both sides.
- Arrange the slices on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes.
- Carefully flip each elephant ear and bake for another 6-8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
- **Optional Cinnamon Sugar Topping:**
- In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Pulse until finely ground.
- Before folding the pastry, sprinkle the mixture evenly over the surface of the puff pastry.
