BAKED ELEPHANT EARS
My mother-in-law handed down this recipe from her mother. They're a special treat-even better, I think, than those at a carnival or festival. And (shh!) they're baked, not fried. -Delores Baeten, Downers Grove, Illinois

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Unfold the pastry sheet on a clean work surface. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar. Starting at each long side, fold the pastry toward the center, leaving a 1/4-inch space in the middle. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar. Fold one side over the other, making a 4-layer rectangle. Cut the rectangle into twelve 3/4-inch slices and put the slices cut-side down on baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Use a spatula to transfer them from the baking sheets to cool on wire racks.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Combine 1/2 cup of the sugar and kosher salt and pour it over a flat surface such as a wooden board or marble slab. Unfold the sheet of puff pastry onto the sugar mixture.
- Combine 1/2 cup of the sugar and the cinnamon and spread it evenly on the puff pastry. This is not about sprinkling, it's about an even covering of sugar. With a rolling pin, lightly roll the dough until it's a 13-inch square and the sugar is pressed into the puff pastry on top and bottom. Fold the sides of the square toward the center so they go halfway to the middle. Fold them again so the two folds meet exactly at the middle of the dough. Then fold one half over the other half as though closing a book. You will have 6 layers. Slice the dough into 3/8-inch slices and place the slices, cut side up, on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookies for 6 minutes, or until caramelized and brown on the bottom, then turn with a spatula and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, until caramelized on the other side. Transfer to a baking rack to cool.
EASY ELEPHANT EARS
We love the ones at the fairs but hate the hassle at home. The older kids can make these and they taste close enough to satisfy us until fair season rolls around again!

Steps:
- Mix sugar and cinnamon together and set aside. If a shaker is available it works great for this.
- Heat oil in a large skillet to about 1 inch and about 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If drop of water sizzles when dropped into the oil it is hot enough.
- Open biscuits and flatten carefully as large as you can get them without breaking. It is sometimes easier to stretch them in your hands like pizza dough rather than rolling out on the counter.
- Place 1 at a time in hot oil; watch carefully and turn when the bottom starts to brown lightly.
- When both top and bottom are the same color, remove from oil to paper towels.
- Immediately brush both sides with melted butter with pastry brush, and sprinkle each side liberally with cinnamon sugar.
- Eat immediately.
