Every time I hear the words Elephant Ears I think of the song Do your ears Hang Low or visa versa. Whenever I think of or see a picture of Elephant Ears I think of this song.
Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them o'er your shoulder
Like a Continental Soldier?
Do your ears hang low?

This week again for TMTT recipe I'm going to share a recipe from Gooseberry Patch cookbook...
I have a recipe featured in this cookbook too. (get details here) this cookbook also has easy ideas for decorating and fall fun on every page.
Elephant Ears
submitted by: Tonya Adams of Magnolia, KY
p. 59
Ingredients:
1/4 c. sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1- 10oz. tube refrigerated biscuits (I used the jumbo biscuits)
oil for frying
For each elephant ear, press 2 biscuits together. Roll out between 2 sheets of wax paper until as thin as possible.
In a frying pan put just enough oil to cover bottom of pan for frying. Pre-heat oil. Over meduim heat, fry each ear one at a time, until golden on one side. Flip gently and I mean gently. (I splashed hot oil on my arm. this wasn't fun) and fry the other side. This takes about 1 min. per side roughly.
Remove from oil. Drain on a paper towel. Combine sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mixture. serve warm. Makes 4 or 5 depending on size of biscuits used.
By the way, this recipe was a hit with my family. I made it for desert though it is listed in the Snack & appetizers section. Reminds me of a pancake almost.
