Now add all-purpose flour to make a smooth dough. Take the dough to a floured board and knead until it turns soft and elastic.

Add some flour if it is watery. Cover the dough with a towel for 1 hour.

Divide the dough into 12 to 15 balls and make each ball about 1/8 inch thick.

Fry the balls on both sides for 1 to 2 minutes or until it is golden brown in color.

Drain on paper towels. Finally, sprinkle the elephant’s ears with sugar and cinnamon.
