The Phyllo experiment

Back to my Cookies A to Z effort.....

For the letter E, I decided to make Elephant Ears, also know as Palmiers...but since I am going with the letter E, I will call them Elephant Ears here. After reading some recipes which called for pastry dough, I thought Phyllo dough would work...which doesn't make sense since phyllo doesn't rise at all. Anway, I unrolled some phyllo, spread some cinnamon sugar over it, rolled it, cut it down and brushed some melted butter on the top. I baked this contraption for about 15 minutes at about 350 degrees. What you see about was the result. It was tasty I guess, although extremely sweet, but not really what I was going for at all.
