Zeppole Recipe

Zeppole Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil, then add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. 2

   Add Eggs

   Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

3. 3

   Heat Oil

   In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

4. 4

   Fry the Zeppole

   Using a pastry bag or spoon, drop small amounts of dough into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Dust with Sugar

   Dust the warm zeppole with powdered sugar.
