Bacon Zeppoli

Method

Bacon Zeppoli Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped bacon.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Fry the Zeppoli

    Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve warm, drizzled with cinnamon maple syrup.
