Zeppole

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined and a thick batter forms.
4. In a large, deep skillet, heat an inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F.
5. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop the batter into the hot oil, forming small round fritters.
6. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
7. Remove the zeppole from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Sprinkle with powdered sugar while still warm.
9. Serve and enjoy!
