Zeppole

Yields6 Servings

This Italian version contains ricotta cheese but you can use creamed cottage cheese if you prefer. Yes, it’s dairy—and worth every bite!

 1 cup Flour
 2 tsp Baking Powder
 1 ½ tsp Sugar
 2 Eggs, beaten
 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
 ¼ tsp Vanilla Extract
 ½ cup Confectioners' Sugar, for dusting
 2 qts Canola Oil, for frying
1

In a medium saucepan, combine the flour, baking powder, and sugar. Stir in the eggs, ricotta cheese and vanilla. Mix gently over low heat until combined. Batter will be sticky.

2

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

3

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.

4

Drain on a cooling rack placed over a paper towel-lined sheet pan.
