Have you ever tried elephant ears? I don’t mean the gray, wrinkly ones belonging to Dumbo, but the tasty treat normally found at fairs and carnivals. If you haven’t, you’re missing out on something Y-U-M-M-Y. An elephant ear is deep fried batter shaped like a small pizza crust with vanilla frosting or cinnamon sugar coating the top of it.
My husband brought one home for lunch today. I’d post a picture of the ear, but we kind of gobbled it up. In fact, we were so excited to taste the delicious dessert, we allowed the twins to have it with their lunch. My husband and I were more disciplined. We waited until we took a few bites of our meal before “testing” the ear. Hey, we had to make sure the cook had done a good job, right?
Do you have a tasty treat you can’t wait to sink your lips into?

I don't think they have those at our state fair! But we do have funnel cakes (very similar, it sounds), and we ALWAYS get one (or two) of those. :D
ReplyDeleteI'd most often reach for an iced mocha and leave the desserts for someone else!
Elephant Ears doused in powdered sugar--the best! I love summertime when all of the little town festivals pop up. Each one has an extravaganza of fried deliciousness!
ReplyDeleteI have never had one of those. They do sound yummy. Right now anything that is homemade and bread sounds really yummy.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds GOOD! I'm at work and hungry! :-)
ReplyDeleteFried carbs are always super yummy!

For me it's Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and Cheetos (not together!!!)
ReplyDeleteOver here it's the malasadas. A round deep fried donut like thing that is then rolled in sugar.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of these before but I definitely want one now.
ReplyDeleteSitting in my fridge right now is a fancy little custard tart (thank you Grandpa) with fresh raspberries on top. Excuse me while I inhale it...
ReplyDeleteWow, you guys are making me hungry! It's nice to see I'm not the only one with a sweet tooth.
