These zeppole are amazing! They're the perfect combination of sweet and savory. I especially love the crispy outer shell. I've made them several times and they always turn out perfectly.

These zeppole were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less sugar in the batter. However, they were still good and I enjoyed them.

I'm not a big fan of zeppole, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! These zeppole were light and fluffy, and the flavor was amazing. I'll definitely be making them again.

These zeppole are so easy to make and they're always a hit with my family and friends. I love that I can make them ahead of time and then just reheat them when I'm ready to serve them.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my zeppole turned out really dense and oily. I think I might have added too much oil to the dough. I'll try again next time and see if I can get them to turn out better.

These zeppole were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. However, they were still good and I enjoyed them.

I was disappointed with these zeppole. The dough was too sticky and difficult to work with. The zeppole also didn't rise very much. I ended up throwing them away.

These zeppole were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I might have overmixed the dough. However, the flavor was still good. I'll try again next time and see if I can get them to turn out better.

I've tried many zeppole recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dough was easy to work with and the zeppole turned out perfectly golden brown. I served them with powdered sugar and a side of Nutella, and they were gone in minutes.
