- Title: Zeppoli
- Categories: Desserts, Italian
- Yield: 20 servings
-
- 2 tb Butter
- 1 pn Salt
- 1 c Flour
- 3 Eggs, whole
- 1 Egg yolk
- Vegetable oil
- - for deep frying
- 1/2 c Confectioners' sugar
-
- As made in Naples for the Feast of San Giuseppe, these crullers are piped
- from a pastry bag into ring shapes. After being fried, their centers are
- filled with pastry cream and cherry preserves.
-
- PUT BUTTER AND SALT into a saucepan with 1 cup water. Boil until butter
- dissolves. Off heat, dump in flour all at once and stir rapidly to mix.
- Return pan to medium-high heat and cook, still stirring rapidly, until
- mixture is smooth and begins to coat bottom and sides of pan. Remove pan
- from heat and, one at a time, add eggs and extra yolk, stirring briskly
- until each addition is absorbed. Let mixture cool to room temperature. Put
- confectioners' sugar into a brown paper bag. Heat deep-frying oil to 375F.
- Using 2 teaspoons, drop in nuggets of dough about the size of a small
- walnut. Fry a few at a time for 5-to-6 minutes each. As they cook, the
- zeppoli will rise to the surface, turn over when their bottom halves are
- golden brown, and finally rupture slightly and puff further as the interior
- dough expands. Remove them from the oil when golden brown, firm, and hollow
- inside. (Check one from the first batch, and if the interior is at all
- soggy, cook the rest longer.) Drain zeppoli briefly on paper towels, then
- toss in the bag with confectioners' sugar. Serve at once.
