Preparation

Prepare the Dough

1. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Mix well.

2. Add Water and Oil

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the water and vegetable oil. Mix until a dough forms.

3. Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling

4. Mix Cinnamon Sugar

In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar for the topping. Set aside.

5. Melt Butter

Melt the butter in a microwave or on the stovetop and set aside for later use.

Shape and Fry

6. Roll Out Dough

Divide the rested dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a large circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

7. Brush with Butter and Add Topping

Brush the rolled-out dough with melted butter. Sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

8. Fold and Roll

Fold the dough in half and then in half again to create a triangle. Roll out again to flatten. This creates layers.

9. Fry the Elephant Ears

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry each piece of dough until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

10. Serve with Chocolate Sauce

Serve the hot elephant ears drizzled with chocolate sauce and additional cinnamon sugar if desired.
