Zeppole Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in flour until the mixture forms a ball. Let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Add Eggs

    Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth.

  3. 3

    Fry the Zeppole

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Using a piping bag, pipe the dough into circular shapes onto parchment paper. Carefully drop them into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Dust with Sugar

    Once cooled slightly, dust the zeppole with powdered sugar.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the zeppole with a scoop of pistachio gelato on the side and top with amarena cherries.
