Armenian Zeppole (Bishi)

"This is my grandmother Hyganoush's recipe. Light and fluffy and delicious. Can be served with maple syrup or confectioners sugar or BOTH! Great breakfast! I should also add that batter can be mixed the night before and placed in refrigerator overnight to rise. Take out and leave at room temperature for 1/2 hour or so before frying. When we were kids we used to see all sorts of people and animals in the shapes."

  1. Some were like large tear drops. Some were somewhat round. I rolled in cinnamon and sugar and they were great. I put in a warm oven with a cloth cover to rise and it worked well, because the kitchen is really not warm enough right now. I will make again. Very easy. I recommend a thermometer to keep the oil constand temperature. Thanks for posting!
