Zeppole are Italian donuts made with ricotta cheese that are traditionally served warm in paper bags with lots of confectioners’ sugar at Italian festivals or carnivals.
Ingredients
- 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir in eggs, ricotta cheese, and vanilla. Mix gently over low heat until combined. Batter will be sticky.
Step 3
Drop by tablespoons into the hot oil a few at a time. Zeppole will turn over by themselves. Fry until golden brown, about 3 or 4 minutes. Drain in a paper sack and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm.
Editor’s Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
