Josefstag
A zeppola (; plural: zeppole; sometimes called frittelle, and in Sardinia the italianized zippole or zeppole sarde from the original Sardinian tzípulas) is an Italian pastry consisting of a deep-fried dough ball of varying size but typically about in diameter. This fritter is usually topped with powdered sugar, and may be filled with custard, jelly, cannoli-style pastry cream, or a butter-and-honey mixture. The consistency ranges from light and puffy, to bread- or pasta-like. It is eaten to celebrate Saint Joseph's Day, which is a Catholic feast day.
