Photo: Christine Rhodes Hariyati Fahey Kuping Gajah (Elephant Ears) Hariyati Fahey from Indonesia These pastries are called this because they are shaped like elephant ears. They are a favorite of many people in my country. They are served at weddings, at Christmas time and at the Idul-Fitre, a celebration for Muslims (Ramadan). They are one of my favorite foods. I like them because they have a chocolate taste. Ingredients: 250 grams of plain flour 60 grams of icing sugar 75 cc. of coconut cream 1 tablespoon of margarine 2 tablespoons of chocolate powder (cocoa) 1 egg oil for deep-frying Method of preparing Kuping Gajah: Mix 1 egg and the icing sugar in a bowl until soft. Add some margarine, coconut cream, plain flour and chocolate powder. Mix to form a mixture. Roll out on paper until thin and roll into a roll of pastry. Put in the freezer for 30 minutes and then cut with a knife into very thin pieces Cook with oil until brown.  Something to know about elephant ears: Children especially like these.
