Time 2h10m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Heat about 3 inches of oil in a saucepan to 375 degrees F (119 degrees C). In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Sir the remaining 1/2 cup water into the bowl. Add flour, beating vigorously until a soft dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a smooth surface, and knead with greased hands until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about 1 to 1/1/2 hours.
  • Fry golf ball sizes of dough in batches until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and eat while still hot.

These zeppoli were a bit more challenging to make than I expected, but they were definitely worth the effort. They were so light and airy, and the filling was to die for. I will definitely be making these again.

The zeppoli were a little too dense for my taste. I think I would use more baking powder next time.

The zeppoli were a little too oily for my taste. I think I would use less oil next time.

The zeppoli didn't rise as much as I expected. I think I might have added too much yeast.

The dough was a little too sticky for me. I had to add a little more flour to get it to the right consistency.

The zeppoli were a bit bland. I think I would add some more spices next time.

These zeppoli were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of anise flavor. But I'm so glad I did! The anise flavor was very subtle and it really complemented the other flavors in the zeppoli. They were delicious!

I've made zeppoli many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The dough was so easy to work with and the zeppoli turned out perfectly golden brown. My family loved them!
