It's Zeppole time!

[Aria]

Hey all,

I've tried zeppoles from many Italian bakeries ( in Toronto) but today I had the best!!! I always thought that zeppoles had to be fried but these were baked and just awesome. Some lovely custard cream on the inside and a light dusting of icing sugar on the outside. Anyone tried making these?

Hi, i just found this on wikipedia...

"The terms zeppoli and sfingi also are sometimes used refer to baked cream puffs made from choux pastry."

Choux are suprisingly easy to make. You can fill with a good pastry cream. Yummy!

It's the time for St. Joseph Zeppoli, which are the ones baked with choux pastry. Here in NJ, they are filled with either cannoli cream or custard. St. Joseph Day is March 19th. If you're in the mood to make them, Lidia has a recipe in Lidia's Italian American Kitchen. She features a fried version or a baked version. I've been meaning to try them every March but never manage to do it.

Hello Barbara!

I didn't actually find them...wish I did though. They were brought over from Woodbridge, does that help?
