Question

when i was little i used too go to a ice cream shop that made what they called "mouse ears" they were a fried dough covered in powder sugar anyone know how to make them? reciepe please

Answer 1

Not that one, but this one:
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
3 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1 lb. ricotta cheese

Mix all together well. Drop by tablespoons into hot oil (deep fryer or in large pot) 350°F degrees. Cook until light brown, but you may need to roll them so they cook evenly in the oil.
Roll in powdered sugar. To me, these taste like the funnel cakes found at carnivals.

Answer 2

Famous Mouse Pancakes honor a little mouse known and loved the world over. Serve with warmed syrup, favorite jams, melted butter and powdered sugar!


2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup sliced, hulled and rinsed strawberries
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs, buttermilk, milk, and melted butter. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients all at once, stirring just to blend; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or heavy skillet over medium-high heat (375°F (190°C) on an electric griddle). Pour enough batter onto the griddle to make a normal-sized pancake (about 1/4 cup); immediately ladle 2 more tiny circles of batter so that they attach themselves to the first pancake to make mouse ears.
When bubbles cover the surface of the pancakes and their undersides are lightly browned, turn them over and cook about 2 minutes more, until the other sides are browned. Before serving, place raisins on each pancake to make the eyes and nose and a strawberry slice for the mouth.
Makes 4 servings.

i have heard them called elephants ears.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons active dry yeast

Answer 4

Yes, there are a several that move me to tears. Now and Forever, by Richard Marx, (our wedding song) To Where You Are and When You Say You Love Me, Josh Groban Leader of the Band and Run for the Roses, Dan Fogelberg And many songs by John Denver PS I love the Eagles, too. I went to my first concert in 1972 to see YES and The Eagles (original line-up) opened the show for them. They were brand new on the scene and had their first hit, Take It Easy. It was most memorable! I remember when New Kid in Town was released. The morning DJ on my favorite NY classic rock station, WNEW, played it twice, he liked it so much. I'm showing my age, aren't I?

Answer 5

Google "elephant ears pastry" instead--same recipe, different size.

DEFINITELY not a pancake!
