    I have to say the middle was quite doughy but i just added baking powder and it came out alright, im mean this recipe isnt the best recipe for zeppole, otherwise the outside was nice.

    The outside was flaky, crispy, and very delicious, however the inside was rather doughy. What can I do to cook it all the way through? I tried playing with oil temperature and zeppole size but to no avail.

    I am beyond disappointed with this recipe. It was very doughy inside and other than the cinnamon and sugar on top had no flavor. The dough was totally flavorless! Even my granddaughter wouldn't eat these....and she will eat almost anything. I have to add that I am a very experienced cook and am able to follow very complicated recipes...I followed this recipe exactly! Sorry Giada....I feel I am being VERY generous by giving this recipe 1 star as I ended up throwing it all in the trash.

    I have to agree with the others...no matter how I cooked it (smaller size, hotter oil they still tasted a little doughy inside. Sorry, Giada, I have made many of your recipes with much success and delight, but this one falls short.

    This is the closest recipe i have found to my mothers, she is from Stromboli,Italy.
    My mothers recipe does not add ricotta like some say. Those are from the feast
    of St. Joseph. The key to not having raw inside is the temp. of the oil. Momma is
    still with us and still makes them. They taste like the ones from ave j flea market
    when i was a teenage, only 40yrs ago. Thank You Giada I love all your recipes.

    I made these for my family and they absolutely loved them! Never had we tasted such a delicious zeppole, better than the ones we get at San Genaro's festival. Thank you, they each tasted like a little cloudy puff of heaven! Now I make them whenever I want to make my family feel really special. If they see this on the counter they know they did something great!

    Very light and fluffy, like biting into a cloud kind of, and the cinnamon sugar really makes it very tasty. Thank you Giada!

    My daughter and I whipped these up for a quick dessert and served them with whipped cream (added some cinnamin to it. Every child had them eaten within 3 minutes...I can't tell you how yummy these are. Cook longer then you would think so the inside cooks through. You must try! Best home-made donuts we every made and the easiest.
