Zeppole Recipes by our Italian Grandmas

My grandfather, Donoto Malgesini, immigrated from Rigoletto, Italy to the United States and settled in Snohomish, Washington, where he raised a family that kept close to their Italian roots. I loved going to family reunions growing up and tasting my great aunt's polenta and other dishes that my cousins would bring. Italians are known for their ability to cook and bake, and there is no doubt these Zeppole Recipes by some Italian grandma's aren't also to die for. If it is an Italian recipe, it has to be good... People who grow up with someone cooking in their household, are bound to love cooking themselves.

Zeppole is a type of a pastry that can be made in various ways. It is delicious with custard cream or filled with ricotta cream. During Christmas time, many make Ciambelle, a form of Zeppole, made with potatoes and granulated sugar. Another great Zeppole often eaten on St. Joseph's day is Zeppole di San Giuseppe. Made with lemon, oranges, sugar, and wild cherries in syrup, this delightful dessert will make anyone happy. I also recommend trying Zeppole Di San Nicola. This Zeppole is served well with a cup of coffee or some tea in the afternoon. I really enjoy sitting outside on the deck and sipping on some coffee and milk while eating one of these. It truly is pure bliss. So, as you can see there are so many different kinds of delicious Zeppole to try out for yourself. You will be sure to love it! And you can be proud that you made it yourself too.
