A BIG TIME INSTA-SALE!

As most of you know by now we will not be back to the boardwalk this year... we are taking some time to regroup, rebrand, and launch our new website!!! So far I am so happy with my decision (I have had to steer clear of my old shop however... that gets me every time) and even though you haven't heard much from me in a while, we are working really hard and have some really great stuff coming soon!  But for now let's talk about the old stuff...

Since the storm I have had a storage unit filled to the brim with the contents of the shop and it's time to let it all go.  You know we love a good sale (ahem... all you bag salers can vouch for us here) but since we are currently without a space we are getting creative and happy to announce our Insta-sale!

HOMEMADE ZEPPOLES.

Ingredients:
2 quarts canola oil (for frying)
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs (beaten)
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar (for dusting)

Directions:
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees.  (A deep fryer is probably the easiest way to keep the temperature consistent.  We don't have one so kris used a candy thermometer in a deep frying pan.)  The temperature of the oil is pretty important, so really keep an eye on it and keep it consistent.

Meanwhile, in a bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.  Stir in eggs, ricotta cheese and vanilla, the batter will be sticky.  (The recipe Kris was using said to mix all those ingredients in a saucepan over low heat until combined.  He didn't think was necessary and just did it in a bowl, but yo can try this method if you'd like.)

Drop tablespoons of the batter in the hot oil.  (If you are doing it in a frying an you will need to turn them, but they will turn themselves in a deep fryer.)  Fry until golden brown, about 3 or 4 minutes and test to be sure that they are cooked through.  Let them cool on a cooling rack covered with paper towels.  (We made ours a little too big at first so the were too brown on the outside and not cooked enough on the inside... so be sure to keep them on the small size.)

These were so delicious... perfectly light and airy... you didn't need much but we did dust with a little powdered sugar.

Enjoy!
