Welcome To Taste of States a place where we celebrate the weird and wonderful food of the United States of America. This can be everything from the snacks that are available for a limited time to the foods that are classic traditions at events such as Christmas and Thanksgiving! Each week we will explore the facts and the history surrounding a different food.

STUFFED ELEPHANT EARS

Today we are heading to the Indiana State Fair to have a look at a snack that takes something that is already well known and remixes it.

An Elephant Ear is a popular in the United States and is defined as a large, flat, crispy pieces of fried dough. They are known for being a popular carnival treat.

The version we are talking about a remixed version created by Sean. A dough is first made with commercial donut flour, water and yeast. It is then rolled out into portions and then pie filling is put in the middle. The corners are then twisted. The Stuffed Elephant Ear is then deep fried.

When the ear is cooked it is then brushed with butter then topped with cinnamon, normal sugar and then white icing.
