ZEPPOLE are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside Italian fried cookies. They're a classic treat that's ideal for special occasions or simply enjoying a sweet moment.
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 2 tsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp salt. 3 large eggs. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 cup whole milk. 1 tsp vanilla extract. Oil for frying. Powdered sugar for dusting.
Instructions: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale and creamy. Add milk and vanilla extract to the egg mixture; mix well. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. Heat oil in a deep pot to 375F 190C. Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, turning the zeppole to cook evenly. Remove zeppole from the oil and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm. Serve the zeppole warm and enjoy!
