Elephant Ears

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

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.
