INGREDIENTS

  • Oil & Fat

    • 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
    • 🧂 1 pinch salt

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🥚 2 large eggs, beaten
    • 1 cup ricotta cheese
    • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Toppings

    • ½ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

STEPS

1

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).

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.

3

Drop tablespoons of batter into the hot oil a few at a time. The zeppole will turn over by themselves. Fry until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
