“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |

Scald Milk; add Sugar, Shortening, & Salt. Cool to lukewarm.
Sprinkle yeast onto warm water in lg. bowl. Add Milk mixture & 2 Cups
Flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough additional Flour to make
stiff dough.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board; kneed until smooth &
elastic, about 8-10 min. Place in a greesed bowl, turning to grease
top. Cover & let rise in a warm place, until double in size, about 1
hour.
Divide dough into 6-8 balls. Roll each out in the form of an
elephant's ear.
Heat oil to 375 degrees. Deep fry elephant's ears, one at a time, for
about 3-5 min. on each side or until golden brown. Serve hot,
sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Makes 6-8.
I also have the recipe for Navajo Fry Bread if you want it. Not as
complicated. Make 18-24 pieces, each about the size of a 9" plate.
