You’ll love the classic cinnamon-sugar flavor of these crispy bite-size treats. Even more, you’ll love that they call for just three ingredients and are so simple to assemble. —Bob Rose, Waukesha, Wisconsin

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. Mix sugar and cinnamon.
On a lightly floured surface, roll one sheet of pastry into an 11x8-in. rectangle. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar. Working from short sides, roll up jelly-roll style toward the center. Wrap in plastic; freeze 10 minutes. Repeat.
Unwrap and cut dough into 1/2-in. slices; place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake 12-15 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Perhaps the easiest version to make Easy Elephant Ears I have come across! It only require 3 ingredients to yield 32 servings. An outstanding sweet to offer for a dessert, or as a Brunch contribution. Each one is just 87 calories, for a real treat. Family kids can easily learn just how to cook when helping you to make these!
