These doughnuts were a bit too greasy for my taste. I'll have to try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my zeppole didn't rise very much. They were still tasty, but they didn't look as good as I expected.

I thought these doughnuts were just okay. They weren't as good as I was hoping.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my zeppole turned out dense and oily. I'll have to try again.

I've made zeppole before, but this recipe was by far the best. The dough was easy to work with and the end result was delicious.

These zeppole were a hit! They were light and fluffy, with a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior. I loved the hint of anise flavor.
