¼ tsp Vanilla Extract
½ cup Confectioners' Sugar, for dusting
2 qts Canola Oil, for frying

Heat 3” oil in a deep 6 quart stockpot until it reaches 365 degrees F on a deep fry thermometer.

Drop by tablespoons into the hot oil a few at a time. Zeppole will flip over by themselves. Fry until golden brown, about 3 to 4 Minutes. Remove from oil and allow temperature to return to 365 F. Repeat with remaining batter.
