Zeppole Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups of warm water 110 degrees
1 Large egg
1 tsp. salt
1 TBS. sugar
1 packet of yeast
1 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)
Approximately 2 cups of All Purpose unbleached flour
In a large bowl add the first 5 ingredients above, stir and wait for the yeast to start to bubble (between 5 and 10 min.) then start adding the flour a little at a time until the mixture becomes like a 'loose gelatin' consistency. Mixture should shake like Jello.
Cover bowl with Saran Wrap or a clean towel and set aside in a warm spot in the kitchen for about 1 1/2 hours.
Now your ready to fry. Fry in enough vegetable oil 400 degrees so they can float. I use a deep fryer. Using two spoons, use one to scoop about 1 TBS.. of the batter and the other spoon to help drop it into the oil. Work in batches a few at a time, as they float to the top use a slotted metal spoon turning them until they're lightly golden and crispy. Using the slotted spoon, drain and place zeppoles on brown paper bags to drain for 1 minute. Serve by placing a few in a Brown paper lunch size bag, sprinkle with 10x confection sugar, close top of bag and shake to cover zeppolies completely. Enjoy.
