New Orleans Beignets vs Italian Sfingi
So the Italian version of a beignet is a zeppole, or as my family likes to call them: sfingi. Sfingi are commonly light, deep fried dough balls covered in powdered sugar. Their consistency is best when light and puffy. Sometimes they are even filled with ricotta mixed with small pieces of chocolate, candied fruits and honey, and most often enjoyed on Saint Joseph’s Day, which is March 11 of this year. In Rome, Naples and Sicily, these little pastries are sold on many streets and are sometimes gifts on this day.sfingi 300×225 New Orleans Beignets vs. Italian Sfingi
