A zeppola (plural: zeppole; in southern Italian dialects: zeppole, in north eastern dialects: frittelle) is an Italian pastry consisting of a deep-fried dough ball of varying size but typically about 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter.
Zeppole - Varieties. 1  The terms zeppole and sfinge are also used to refer to baked cream puffs made from choux pastry. [1] 2  Some zeppole are filled with ricotta mixed with small pieces of chocolate, candied fruits and honey. 3  Zeppole can also be savory, and consist of fried bread dough often filled with anchovy. In parts of Calabria, the anchovy or a sultana variety are consumed on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. In Malta, anchovy zeppoli are traditionally consumed during the Lent fasting period.
