Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
1 pinch salt
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup ricotta cheese
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
Directions
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
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.
Drop by tablespoons into the hot oil a few at a time. Zeppole will turn over by themselves. Fry until golden brown, about 3 or 4 minutes. Drain in a paper sack and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm.
Editor's Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
