Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 OH AJ! I am supposed to be on a diet! This sounds so good I am going to make them anyway. Most deserts I can just pass on with no trouble, but pastries are my downfall. Katie AJ <coolcook wrote: Zeppole (Italy) 1/2 cup white wine 2 1/2 cups water 1 pinch salt 2 1/2 cups flour, sifted olive oil for frying 3 teaspoons powdered cinnamon, mixed with1 cup sugar Put wine and water in a pot. Bring to almost a boil. (It shouldn't come to a full boil.) Add the flour all at once and stir constantly with a wooden spoon. When the dough comes out of the pot in a single piece remove it from the heat. Place on lightly oiled marble or counter surface. Knead by pounding with a rolling pin. Do this for 10 minutes so as to make it smooth and homogeneous. Roll the dough into snakes about as thick as your little finger. Pull off small pieces of dough, rub the dough between your hands and pinch ends together to make small rings. Heat the oil and fry the zeppole a few at a time. Prick balls with a skewer as they fry, so the dough will bubble out and they become crunchier and more golden. Drain them on paper towels. Dredge them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve hot or cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
