zeppole
Fried Italian pastries
Zeppole are Italian fried dough pastries, typically ball-shaped and dusted with powdered sugar.
They're traditionally served on St.
Joseph's Day in March, often filled with custard, pastry cream, or ricotta.
The singular is zeppola, though zeppole commonly serves for both: I'll take two zeppole with the cannoli.
