Oreja. It's a type of mexican sweet bread

also elephant ears

Or pan dulce

I was gunna say elephant ears

Thank you! I'd love to know what they were branded when I was a kid on the East Coast of the US and the most Mexican thing was Taco Bell, but.

i don't think i've actually had one but i've seen them before definitely

palm trees is what we call them here

or the Quebec version NUN FARTS

Pets de sœurs - Wikipedia

palmieres is the french name. they're puff pastry cut into rings and baked like that

I'm in PA on the east coast and we call them elephant ears

we call them palmiers, yes

I'd never heard all the other names! elephant ears, cute

pixle: Palmiers and Pet de Soeur are pretty different, though? The pastry is not the same at all, nor the sugar used for it either

Palmiers is what I know them as (and I'm from Cali)

Elephant ears are an entirely different thing (bigger for one)

I'm in GA, and elephant ears are like...funnel cakes here

nuevayuimaxwell: True! Sorry I meant it more like an offset. Since they were trying to make Palmiers probably but didn't have the puff pastry for it

pixle: Traditionally in my family, we make Pet de Soeurs to use up leftover pie crust that's too small to make tourtière/meat pie. No idea what the original intent was when it was first 'invented' LOL

Yeah I think that was it too. Probably like how Palm Trees were made with leftover puff pastry, no wasting leftover crusts.

From texas and I know these as Orejas - elephant ears to me are a much larger thing, but also still fried puff pastry

this is what I know as a n elephant ear

yeah! That's what they are in Cali too (though sometimes it's got the sugar on before it's fried so it gets a crackly sort of glaze/shell)

this whole plurk is making me want pastry I blame all of you

palmiers

love those things. and a lot of grocery stores (i know the kroger bakery) will have them

justplainchy: looks like a fatter beaver tail haha

I love hearing about the different takes/names of these, this plurk is wholesome lol
