I've made these elephant ears several times now and they're always a hit. They're so versatile and can be customized with different toppings. My favorite way to eat them is with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a dollop of whipped cream.

These elephant ears were a bit greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them instead of frying them next time.

I had a hard time getting the dough to roll out thinly. I ended up having to use a lot of flour, which made the elephant ears a bit tough.

These elephant ears were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
