Elephant Ears
POSTED: 9:41 am CDT August 14, 2008
2 tbsp. sour cream
1 c. buttermilk
1 egg
1 ½ tsp. kosher salt
1 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
2 ½ c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
Cinnamon sugar, for dusting
Combine wet ingredients and salt in large bowl and blend well.
Sift together flour and baking soda. Slowly add to wet ingredients, ¼ at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Knead on floured surface until smooth, then wrap loosely in waxed paper and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
Preheat peanut or vegetable oil to 360° F.
Tear off serving-sized pieces and roll to ¼-inch thickness. For the true carnival flair, cut two slits in the center of each piece to make the "ears."
Fry until golden brown. Drain on racks and dust with cinnamon sugar while still hot. Consume mass quantities.
