    Thank you so much for your video. I loved it! You brought tears to my eyes because you reminded me of my Mother and her sister Mary-my Godmother who have passed on. Unfortunately they passed young-I am only 38 and miss both of them terribly. Watching you tonight made me feel sad and happy because I could imagine doing this with them because they lived for cooking! Keep doing this you are excellent at it!

    I've made this recipe about 20 times and I love it! VERY EASY to make! I use an ice cream scoop and drop the dough in the oil. I use cinnamon sugar on them and they're fabulous. Nice hot crispy outside and soft middle makes all the adults turn into kids. I want to make this and film it, I hope you do not mind a video response.

  • @Zebrajellyfishphoto
    @Zebrajellyfishphoto 12 років тому +1

    I grew up in brooklyn and my grandmother used to make them at the middle or end of summer and use the big yellow flowers, cut into pieces from squash that she was growing in the garden and put those in the dough mix - they were wonderful! Thanks for your video.

    I'm going to make these tonight as a treat. I have 3 (non Italian) step kids. They'll love these. I have zucchini flowers in my garden and will add them. My parents both passed last year and your opening comments about your mom's recipe collection reminded me of my mom's. She had written lots down.

    Zeppole, a childhood favorite. In Brooklyn, NY you could get them at the mom and pop pizza shops. You could eat them till you got a belly ache. Thank you the memory and excellent easy to follow instructions. Please post more!

    It's one cup of water. Just make sure the dough is runny and let rise and get bubbly. Have fun making these. Enjoy.

    Hi, Mary. Although I am not Italian myself, Israeli... I fall in love with these fired pastry that I ate in Naples, and in Louisiana. They are equal in deliciousness to Israeli doughnuts for Hanukkah... I made alteration to the recipe, added a little bit of butter or margarine to the dough, my Italian friend told me it would in rich the texture and the flavor.
