Berry Zeppole Recipe

Berry Zeppole

From samkan 16 years ago

This is a classic italian dessert with a berry twist. Goes perfectly with some dipping chocolate or spinkled with sugar.

In a medium saucepan combine the butter, salt, sugar, and water over medium heat. Bring to a boil.
Take the pan off the heat and stir in the flour.
Return the pan to low heat and stir continuously until the mixture forms a ball, about 4 minutes.
Transfer to a medium bowl.
Using an electric hand mixer on low speed, add eggs, 1 at a time, incorporating each egg completely before adding the next.
Fold in berries, do not beat with a mixer.
Set aside.
Place sugar in a small shallow bowl and set aside.
Pour enough oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
Using a small ice-cream scoop or 2 small spoons, carefully drop about a tablespoon of the dough into the hot oil. Turn the zeppole once or twice, cooking until golden and puffed up, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked zeppole to a dish with a paper towel on it to soak up oil. After about 30 seconds roll to coat in the sugar. Continue frying the remaining dough.
For the Chocolate Dip: Take about 1/2 cup of chocolate icing from a premade container and microwave it for about 10 seconds. Dip and enjoy.

This zeppole is moist. FOr more traditional zeppole do not add the berries and prepare as the recipe states.
