    I have never had zeppole before but one of my best friends is from New Jersy and when I told her that I was going to attempt this dessert; she was so happy. The dough was fairly easy to make but frying them was a test. The first batches were very eggy on the inside, but once I got the temp controlled, they came out better. By the time I placed the last batch in the oil. we had got it right. They were soft, tender and very good. We enjoyed them and will try this again.

    I never had zeppole before, so, I really don't know how the actual zeppole is. :P But after watching Giada making them, I was really enthusiastic try it at home. It was very easy to make them. It probably took less then 30 minutes. I really had fun making them and my family loved it. I didn't use vanilla beans. Instead, I used a few drops of vanilla extract. I think it worked.(as long as I can smell the vanilla
    The inside of zeppole was kind of like dense egg pudding which I really liked.

    When I watched Giada make this I got very excited about making it, but I was soon dissapointed. The first problem is the fact that the zeppole need to be very small like melon baller size when you fry them. The second problem was the sugar had way too much cinnamon in it. I even tried to put powdered sugar on top to help, but it didn't. The third problem is that it tastes very egg like and raw in the middle. Not at all what I hoped for. Maybe it is just me, but I didn't care for it. I think I may try it again, but instead of making my own dough, I will just use can biscuits and less cinnamon in the sugar. I know it's not at all like zeppole, but I at least know my kids will eat that. I'm sorry Giada, but this was not one of your better recipes.

    Donna from Pembroke Fla, I think you are rating the wrong recipe. This is NOT a cake is a heavenly dough puffs.

    My family loves these when I bring them to a party. I do use powder sugar on them instead, a little more Italian Street Fair like.

    I had the same problem with the middle being gooey, even after following the recipe to a "T." It looked and smelled delicious but I do not like the gooey texture.

    I was very dissapointed. I did everything according to Giada's recipe. You definitely can only make them one inch large...and the oil can't be more then on medium or they burn . I don't think you should try this recipe for the first time when company is expected. Giada should have warned that this is not an easy recipe
