St Joseph's Zeppole

So, i decided to make St Joseph's Zeppole for the first time. Zeppola ( Zeppole for plural) or St. Joseph's cakes, also called sfinge, and in Rome, Bigne di S. Giuseppe, is a pastry typical in Italian cuisine. Commonly light, deep fried, or baked, these doughnuts or fritters shape are usually topped with powdered sugar and may be filled with custard, jelly, cannoli style pastry cream, or a butter-and-honey mixture. Zeppole are traditionally consumed on La Festa di San Giuseppe ( Saint Joseph's Day), on March 19th. In Rome, Naples and Sicily, these little pastries are sold on many streets and are sometimes gifts on this day.
