I'm at my family's home tonight for Father's day because my Mom and I are going on a couple of day trips this week. They decided to make some homemade elephant ears tonight so I thought I would learn how to do it and share the info with you. Dad learned from a friend of his that makes them professionally (at fairs, etc).
Start out with frozen white bread dough...
Let it thaw and rise...
Dad spread it thin -- very thin. He says holes are OK...
Heat up oil to around 375 degrees -- you can test it with a little piece of dough.
Meanwhile, Mom was in charge of the cinnamon sugar. There aren't any specific measurements -- just guess.
Carefully drop the dough in...
Turn it over when it is golden brown...
Coat them in sugar when they come out and enjoy...

what a fantastic idea! those look so yummy. i bet you could also work some chocolate chips into the dough to make it even more wonderful/less healthy. or use the dough to envelop some kind of creamy filling, to make a cream-filled doughnut type-thing...aahh, the artery-clogging possibilities are endless!
