Taste just like the one's at the circus! Too good. Don't roll to thin, you'll get a cracker. I dusted with powdered sugar. Definitely a keeper.

These were good. But I really found nothing "special" about them. They tasted like any other fried yeast dough... I will keep looking for something else.

Simply wonderful! When I was melting the shortening/milk/sugar mix I thought this was a huge mistake, but it really turned out perfect in the end. I ended up with ~12 6" rounds and only made half the recipe. The only thing I did differently was adjust the topping to the way I like (much more sugar, much less cinnamon). BTW, 3/8c = 6 tablespoons.

This was fantastic. Make sure you roll them nice and thin though, because the dough is kind of elastic and will "scrunch" up a bit. We ended up with elephant biscuits, which were still tasty. Not the recipe's fault, of course, but just a word of warning for people who sometimes cut corners!

Oh my, this is nearly the same as my favorite elephant ears that I love to get every year at the Fair. So super easy to make! I didn't have shortening, so used butter (1:1 ratio). I decreased the serving size to 5 servings (I didn't need to make 15 ears, as I'm just making for me and my husband), which gave me easy numbers to work with. For the cinnamon/sugar mix I increased the sugar by 1 TB. When frying, it's important that you don't have the oil too high, nor too low and to keep a constant eye on the ear. It fries up quick! Spread with butter, sprinkle with the cinnamon/sugar and enjoy!!! =)

YUM! We made these after coming home from the fair, and the only difference was that these are with white flour and the true fair elephant ears are with whole wheat. Definitely delish. We brushed ours with butter before dusting them with cinny and sug.

Made these with 2 cups whole wheat flour and 2 cups of white, and they turned out great. The kids had fun making them.

These are so good!! Anyone who says these aren't like the fair has either went to a really weird fair or they messed up the recipe. I have made these several times and they always turn out perfect. And people PLEASE stop rating recipes you've never tried.

We used to make these when I was a kid and we called them German Scones. We cut them in to triangles and coat them in powdered sugar. They melt in you mouth. :)

These were okay. I definitely prefer the ones at the fair...and I personally don't really think these come close enough to that to make me want to make them again. These were a little more dense and slightly less sweet than what my family is used to. Thanks anyway for the idea.

Thank You for the recipe! I was craving these one day and am so happy I found this. They are so good, good thing I more than halved the recipe otherwise I would have ate them all. Thanks again.
