Kindda like my nonna used to make Zeppoles! She was from Verona <3
Thank you so much. You’re amazing! I could watch and listen all day 😊🍷👍🏼
Grazie. I've watched many how-to videos for zeppoles. And I really like the clarity of yours. I like your style.
I love this video. My grandmother and mom used to make Zeppole when I was younger. I love everything about this video. You are so organized and to the point when cooking and baking so it makes it so easy to follow. I always learn something from you. I never knew about the cleaning of the oil and I never met a French Fry I didn't love. I can't wait to try make this! Francesca, thank you for a fun video and the perfect music to get us into the holiday spirit!
I never wanted to fry food because I didn't want to waste the oil. So happy you've showed me how to save the oil and reuse it. Thank you.
Wonderful video thank You so much ! God bless made my morning
thank you for your lovely video! ❤
I like to put nutmeg in my zeppole batter.
Grazie Nonna. This brings me back home to New York. I just miss my roots. Zeppole, Polenta, everything homemade and fresh from the giordino. Oh God bring it back.
Nice having you for dinner tonight at GP's. Lovely YouTube channel. See you soon. Erica
Where may I get a pan like this for frying?

Add nutmeg to the flour. Or black pepper.
Yummy zeppol
Another great video. You are to the point but very good at explaining why you do things. Thank you!
Omg i love these no fennel mom would make with 1/2 with Rasins
"cent' anni" …. Ciao
Thank you
Good Lord, this is old school cooking!!! Even placing the plate over the bowl! Please don’t lose these beautiful little additions!❤
My Italian Grandmother used to cook fried dough cakes for me that were apparently just flour mixed with Italian alcohol or liqueur and she used to cover them in icing sugar mixed with water (I think) which solidified once cooled…unfortunately she took the recipe with her to her grave
She used to roll the dough into a large ‘snake’ and then cut bite size pieces
Does this remind you of anything?
Grazie
Love your video
I am going to try making them
Where can I purchase the cooling rack that you put on the frying pan in your video?
When I was growing up I grew up next door to Italians these old recipes take me back to a great time in life
My Sicilian ex husband & I made something similiar called "sfingi" which had egg in the dough. However, I didn't fill them with pastry cream as some do.
You are wonderful! Thank you for your channel! Buona Festa😃❤️💚
My nonna used to make them but I always assumed she must have used eggs. I'm now vegan and pleased that eggs are not needed for this recipe. You could also fill the zeppole with apple or chocolate.
