Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Method
 

  1. Gather the ingredients. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees 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 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.
