Elephant Ears
Elephant ears are the sister pastry of the funnel-cake. Instead of web-like funnel-cake dough, an elephant ear consists of flat and smooth dough (honestly think an "elephant ear" of dough). As with funnel-cake, you can have it sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar or opt for a fruit topping.

I make cheap mini imitation elephant ears during the off season using those rolled up in a can biscuits and a deep fryer :)

My Grandma used to make what she called "dogs ears" years ago for us when we were kids. She used to use any left over dough when she was making bread - simply deep fry it, put it in a bag with brown sugar and there you go. Not exactly the best thing in the world for your teeth. During the Ohio State Fair there are some stands that sell "fried dough" (literally-no lie-that is exactly what they call it) which is elephant ears.
Not as good as CPs but nice try

WHOEVER -- yup, I do that too. Works pretty well.
Kennywood and Cedar Point have great elephant ears. I've seen "fried dough" on occasion, but nothing matches the 'ears at CP and KW.

One year we had Cedar Point funnel cakes at our annual Christmas Party. Bought the mix at the Emporium in Frontier Town in October, and made them up on Christmas Day. Complete with sugar and fruit topping. Big fun.

Okay--I know that you can get the Elephant Ears at Cedar Point (the stall back by Disaster Transport and over toward Old Frontier Town) but where can you get them at Kennywood???

At Kennywood, try a stand near the Pittsburg Plunge, in the Lost Kennywood section.

I never eat them, because when I go to CP, it's usually hot, and when it's hot I don't was something sweet and sticky.
I agree CP_bound. I will have one every so often though, I have'nt had one in almost two years.

With all due respect, GregLeg, the Beaver Tails at the Canada pavilion at Epcot have it all over either KW or CP's ears.
