Zeppoles were originally a traditional dish made for Italian St. Joseph's Day (March 19th) celebrations. Over time, this delicious dessert has become popular all over the world and is enjoyed by people of all ages. Bethany's Jerseygirl Zeppoles is a simple recipe that gives a sweet and classic flavor to this dessert.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt using a whisk.
2.	In another bowl, mix the yeast with warm water and let it rest for 5 minutes. It will look bubbly.
3.	Mix the eggs into the yeast mixture making sure they get combined well.
4.	Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture while whisking. Mix until it becomes completely smooth and the batter is not too thick. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

6.	Fry the zeppoles until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan.
7.	Using a slotted spoon, remove the zeppoles from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined tray to drain the excess oil.
