This light stripy sweet biscuit is very popular in Indonesia, it's called Elephant Ears. You can get this crispy snack just about anywhere there, in shops, in the markets.
The taste of this Elephant Ears biscuits is similar to the Italian fried cookies; Cenci - the carnival pastries, only they are not dusted with icing sugar. The dough is straightforward to make and very economical too.
