Can Zeppole be baked?
If you prefer to bake the pastries, we recommend following our cream puff tutorial for piping and baking the dough. Then, you have the option to fill the baked pastry with desired fillings, similar to our Baked Donuts, or simply dust the top with powdered sugar.
What is the best oil for frying donuts?
Use a neutral-tasting oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, peanut oil, or canola oil. We prefer using peanut oil in our deep fryer.
Can Zeppole be prepared in advance?
Once Zeppole are fried, they are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are made. However, you can prepare the Choux Pastry Dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. Alternatively, you can freeze it for up to 3 months.
Zeppole is simply irresistible. Present a bowl of these sweet treats to a roomful of children and witness their eyes light up. We hope this Zeppole recipe becomes a cherished favorite for you and your loved ones.
