Joe just found the copy of the first recipe Helen sent us for Zeppolas or Zeppoles or Seppola or whatever spelling of Belly Bombers you prefer.
Here it is:
Ingredients:
4 cups flour
6 teaspoons baking powder
3 pounds ricotta, drained
6 tablespoons sugar
6 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method:
Mix ricotta and eggs.
Sift flour, sugar and baking powder together.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
Drop by tablespoons into hot oil, 3" deep.
Fry until golden brown.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
