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

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my elephant ears turned out flat and greasy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These were delicious! The only thing I would change is to add a little more cinnamon sugar to the coating.
