Corn dogs, funnel cakes and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/air-fryer-oreos\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/air-fryer-oreos\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">fried Oreos<\/a> are the mainstays, but equally deserving of the spotlight is the ever-delicious elephant ear. This state fair delicacy is made with flatbread dough that\u2019s deep-fried until golden and crispy, then generously coated in cinnamon sugar.<\/p>\n<p>This warm, rich treat is like a cozy churro that\u2019s been simplified in order to turn it out rapidly for the masses. Yet we made things even simpler with this quick elephant ear recipe, omitting the need for homemade yeasted dough by using a packet of 6-inch flour tortillas. You most likely have the last three ingredients\u2014cinnamon, sugar and oil\u2014in your kitchen right now.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Quick Elephant Ears<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> White granulated sugar is best for the cinnamon-sugar coating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cinnamon:<\/strong> Cozy cinnamon is a major flavor booster in our easy elephant ears recipe. If you\u2019re an avid baker, keep different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-cinnamon\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-cinnamon\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">types of cinnamon<\/a> in your spice cabinet for more nuanced flavor profiles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oil:<\/strong>\u00a0Canola oil is one of the best oils for deep-frying (and it&#8217;s most likely in your kitchen right now). Check out our Tips section below for other suitable oils.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour tortillas:<\/strong> This is where our shortcut comes in! Instead of making dough from scratch, we use store-bought flour tortillas. They get gorgeously puffy and crispy once deep-fried\u2014just like elephant ears should be!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the cinnamon sugar<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2050889\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Quick-Elephant-Ears_FT24_9167_EC_0913_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Granulated sugar and the cinnamon combined.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Ellie Crowley For Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a mixing bowl with a lid, or in a large resealable storage bag, combine the granulated sugar and the cinnamon. Set it aside.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Fry the flour tortillas<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2050891\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Quick-Elephant-Ears_FT24_9167_EC_0913_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Tortilla being heated in a skillet.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Ellie Crowley For Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a small skillet, heat 1\/2 inch of oil. Place one tortilla at a time in the skillet and cook it for five seconds. Carefully turn the tortilla using a pair of tongs and cook the tortillas for 10 seconds longer, or until it&#8217;s browned.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Coat the elephant ears in cinnamon sugar<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2050892 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Quick-Elephant-Ears_FT24_9167_EC_0913_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Fried tortilla being coated in cinnamon.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Ellie Crowley For Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Immediately place the fried tortillas in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and toss to generously coat.

Make the dough from scratch using our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/fry-bread\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/fry-bread\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">fry bread<\/a> recipe! In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1\/8 teaspoon of salt. Stir in 1\/3 cup of hot water to form a soft dough. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 30 minutes, then divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 6-inch circle and continue with our quick elephant ear recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Play around with the coating:<\/strong> An easy way to add flavor to these elephant ears is by tweaking the cinnamon-sugar coating. Cinnamon pairs beautifully with a ton of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/fall-spices\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/fall-spices\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">fall spices<\/a> like nutmeg, ginger and pumpkin pie spice. Add in a small amount of those spices for a cozier elephant ear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Quick Elephant Ears<\/h2>\n<p>As with anything fried, this simplified elephant ears recipe should be made the same day you plan on eating them, as they taste best fresh. However, you can store leftover elephant ears for up to two days. Once your elephant ears have cooled to room temperature, store them in an airtight container or a resealable bag.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat quick elephant ears?<\/h3>\n<p>Reheat elephant ears in the microwave for a few seconds, or in the toaster oven for about a minute or so.<\/p>\n<h2>Quick Elephant Ears Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2050894\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Quick-Elephant-Ears_FT24_9167_EC_0913_6.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Elephant Ears \" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Ellie Crowley For Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What are the best toppings for quick elephant ears?<\/h3>\n<p>Our elephant ears recipe is delicious on its own with the cinnamon-sugar coating, but the fun doesn\u2019t have to stop there!
