Homemade Elephant Ears

Summer just isn't summer without the annual carnival.  (In Grand Haven, MI it is our Coast Guard Fest which is currently captivating our little town.)  Even though summer is speeding toward back to school time, it doesn't mean that you have to say goodbye to carnival treats, namely the Elephant Ear.  So, no, this one is not deep fried, will most likely not burn your tongue off, and does not come in proportions the size of your head.  It is, however, a sweet little homage to the warm summer nights and the flashing lights of carnivals everywhere.  Enjoy!
