 Ingredients List

  • 2 c Milk
  • 5 tb Sugar
  • 5 tb Shortening
  • 2 tb Salt
  • 2 Envelopes Active Dry Yeast
  • 2 c Warm Water (105-115 degree)
  • 6 c All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 qt Vegetable Oil
  • Cinnamon Sugar

 Directions

Scald Milk; add Sugar, Shortening, & Salt. Cool to lukewarm.

Sprinkle yeast onto warm water in lg. bowl. Add Milk mixture & 2 Cups
Flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough additional Flour to make stiff
dough.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board; kneed until smooth & elastic,
about 8-10 min. Place in a greesed bowl, turning to grease top. Cover &
let rise in a warm place, until double in size, about 1 hour.

Divide dough into 6-8 balls. Roll each out in the form of an elephant's
ear.

Heat oil to 375 degrees. Deep fry elephant's ears, one at a time, for
about 3-5 min. on each side or until golden brown. Serve hot, sprinkle with
cinnamon sugar. Makes 6-8.

I also have the recipe for Navajo Fry Bread if you want it. Not as
complicated. Make 18-24 pieces, each about the size of a 9" plate.
