4 tsp. baking powder
1 pinch of salt
¼ tsp. vanilla essence extract
2 cups all purpose flour
Vegetable oil
¼ cup sugar

HOW TO PREPARE (FIND A STEP-BY-STEP VIDEO DEMONSTRATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA):
- 1. Combine lemon zest, eggs, milk, baking powder, salt and vanilla essence in a bowl and whisk until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- 2. Add flour gradually while whisking to form a semi-thick batter
- 3. Pour in enough oil into a large, heavy pot and bring to 350F.
- 4. With a small ice-cream scoop or a spoon sprayed with pam spray, take the batter, and drop into hot oil, stirring from time to time to achieve even colour on all sides. Fry until dough is a dark golden brown. Repeat until all batter has been used.
- 5. Drain the oil and toss in the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
Top Tip: Top the Zeppole with a dollop up Nutella or chocolate sauce for maximum flavour!
