About this dish
Zeppole are Italian doughnut consisting of a deep-fried dough ball of varying sizes, but typically about 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter. These fritters are usually topped with powdered sugar, and may be filled with custard, jelly, cannoli-style pastry cream or a butter-and-honey mixture. The consistency ranges from light and puffy, to bread- or pasta-like. They are traditionally eaten to celebrate Saint Joseph's Day, which is a Catholic feast day.
