How to Make Quick Elephant Ears
- In a shallow bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- Pour 1 cup of vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
- Carefully place one tortilla into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the skillet.
- Cook for about 20-30 seconds per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust cooking time depending on your stove and tortilla thickness.
- Using tongs, remove the cooked tortilla from the oil and immediately place it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Gently toss the tortilla to coat it evenly with the cinnamon sugar.
- Place the coated elephant ear on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Repeat steps 3-7 with the remaining tortillas.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, crispy elephant ears!
