March 19 in Italy will celebrate "father's Day" or in Italian "Festa di papà" and, of course, all the Italians will feast on so-called "zeppole" St. Joseph (or Giuseppe in Italian version). This is a typical Italian dessert, which was known during the Roman Empire. There is a legend that after the escape of the Holy family from Egypt, Joseph had to sell "fried rolls", in order to feed a family in a foreign country. And these sweets are very like the Romans. That's why in Italy in the day of "Saint Joseph" decided to cook these "zeppole". Of course, over the centuries, the recipe may not be preserved in its original form, and in every region of Italy has its own version of cooking, but one thing has remained unchanged - "zeppole" should be fried in plenty of oil. Although... you can now meet and baked in the oven... as they are less calories and less heavy for the digestion. I propose to your attention all the same good old fried "zeppoli". But be patient, because first we will prepare the cream, and then themselves "zeppoli". RUB the yolks with the sugar in the milk to dissolve the flour, add vanilla.

Mix all ingredients in a saucepan and cook until thick, stirring constantly with a whisk. Cream to tighten wrap and set aside.

It is very important to prepare, to measure all products for the test in ADVANCE. In a saucepan (I do it in kazanchike Teflon) heat water, butter, salt and sugar. Bring to boil, once it boils, turn the heat off. And pour all the flour.

Then knead, trying to collect the mixture to the center with blades, until dough gather into a ball.

We need baking paper, marker or pen. The paper cut into squares about the size of 7x8 see Now we'll need something round to draw a basis. I used the lid from a jar for spices, you can use the cover from the lens :D or something round with a diameter of 5-7 cm.

The dough using a pastry bag and nozzle asterisk must be deposited in a spiral (on the side opposite from that on which we drew a circle), and so, filling in the drawn circle cream, continue spiral "paint the walls" with two curls, and then, leaving a hole at the top, crystallise inside the cake remains HOLLOW. If the dough is spread, does not hold shape, add another spoon or two of flour. Mix THOROUGHLY.

Heat oil over medium heat. Dropping a drop of water, check if the oil hissed, it is possible to fry zeppoli. Right with paper throw one in oil, diminish the fire, retrieved the paper with tweezers and fry on slow fire for 5 minutes until Golden brown. It is very important to finish roasting them so that the middle remained liquid. Depending on the width of the utensils you need to cook no more than 2-3 (if the utensils are wider and more) pieces. Constantly rotate them so they "stood out" evenly. Ready sepalla to put a slotted spoon on a paper towel. The cooled cupcakes to fill with cream and decorate with cherry. I can not mention that for the first time worked with choux dough, very much.
