    This has a been a favorite of my Calabrian family for many generations and with the passing of my grandmother and mother I thought the tradition of having these delicious zeppole on New Year's Eve was gone...thank you so much; they bring back wonderful memories.

    We make this every year as part of our christmas eve tradition-it is my sister's favorite! My nana used to make the dough from scratch, btu as she got older, she began using frozen bread dough. We cut out "doughnut" shapes and fry them plain, and then make a little "envelope" of dough with the anchovy. I prefer regular, crusty italian bread-but this fried bread (zeppole is always a hit.

    They're great. My mom always makes them on Christmas Eve - you can count the anchovy as one of the 7 fish! She also makes them around Carnevale (Mardi Gras. She also makes them without anchovies. The way you tell the difference is that the solid round balls are with anchoy and the ones without are in a donut shape.
