- Cut off a piece of dough, and shape it into a round on a well floured surface (do not use a rolling pin). I usually make them about the size of the frying pan I'm using.
- Heat some olive oil in a frying pan, over medium high heat (it doesn't need to be non-stick.) Make sure the pan is very hot, then place the dough in the pan.
- It will begin to rise, and bubbles will appear. Once it is golden brown underneath, turn it over.
- When golden brown on the second side, remove to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining dough.
Notes
- The recipe below requires 12-18 hrs to rest, so plan accordingly.
- Top with your favorite ingredients or eat plain.
- You can sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar and call them elephant ears (carnival food).
