    Cover and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
    Divide dough into 6 or 8 balls. Roll each out in an irregular
    elephant ear shape. Heat cooking oil to 375 degrees. Deep fry
    elephant ears, one at a time, for about 3 to 5 minutes on each
    side or until a golden brown. Serve hot, sprinkled with the
    cinnamon and sugar.
