Placinta - fried dough

[jojo54]

I know its not really a gardening recipe - unless you spread it with homemade preserves or pie filling as some people do. I got the recipe from my mother and grandmother so decided to pass it on. Enjoy.

I made Placinta / Elephant Ears / fried dough - what ever you call it - I made it, we ate it.

Recipe and pics on my blog.

It may not be a gardening recipe Jojo, but you could eat it in the garden!
My mom made these every time we had potato soup, and her mom made them (and my great grandma ...etc ). I make them too, and now my sons think potato soup is just not worth eating without "fry bread". Must be one of those family heritage type foods.
I just use a bread dough recipe, so mine aren't sweet.

That looks really good, Jojo! I've never had fry bread before.

When I first read the title of this post, I thought it said

"Placenta- fried dough"

So, my mind was going a bit crazy, thinking somebody was wrapping a placenta in dough and frying it!!

Sounds a lot like the fry bread the Choctaws make. I have a hard time keeping from pigging out on it.

It is Romanian and pronounced Pla - shin - tea (or something like that)
