ZEPPOLES
ITALIAN DOUGHNUTS
I'm gonna show you how to make Zeppoles from scratch, also known as Italian doughnuts, usually found at street fairs, served in a brown paper bag and served with a mount of powdered sugar. I get zeppoles once a year at the san gennnaro feast in NYC. If you ever wondered how to make donuts without yeast this may be the recipe you're looking for. These are the best doughnuts in my opinion and one of my favorite childhood foods. And this is the easiest donut recipe I have come across. This is my first dessert and of course, it's an Italian dessert. Be careful when you fry donuts at home.

My sauce actually broke in this video so I'll also show you

And so to guarantee myself a year of money and happiness, I’m turning the cotechino into meatballs and serving them on lentils. Let the good times roll.
