Steps:
- Add 2-inch oil to a large pot and heat to 375˚F (190˚C).
- In a medium saucepan on medium-low heat, add water, butter, sugar and salt. Cook until butter melts completely.
- Lower the heat and add flour. Use the wooden spoon to mix vigorously until well combined.
- Transfer the dough into a large mixing bowl. Let it cool off slightly, about 3-5 minutes, then add eggs, one at a time. Mix the eggs with the dough using a hand-mixer or wooden spoon. (Make sure your dough is not too hot, otherwise the eggs will scramble when added to the dough.)
- Check the temperature of the oil, if it's ready, it's time to fry the donuts. Use a small spoon to spoon out the batter, and then use another spoon or spatula to scrape the batter into the oil. Make sure to lower the spoon into the oil very gently so that you won't splash the oil onto yourself.
- Cook in batches and fry 10-12 donuts at a time. Fry for 4-5 minutes for each batch until they turn golden brown. You'll need to turn them over from time to time to make sure all sides get cooked properly.
- Remove cooked zeppole from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel lined plate.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 3 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp honey, 2 tsp dry active yeast 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1 1/2 cup warm water.
- Using the hook attachment, mix until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the mixer bowl. Depending on the flour you use, you may need to add more. Add 1-2 tablespoons extra at a time.
- Transfer the dough to a bowl greased with olive oil and cover it with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- In the meantime, fill a heavy-bottomed pot with about 2 inches of corn oil or any other high smoke point oil like vegetable or canola. Bring the heat to medium-high. Using an instant-read thermometer, make sure the oil is between 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Now using kitchen shears, snip off small pieces (about 1 1/2 tablespoon) of the dough and use a spoon to scrape the zeppole dough into the hot oil.
- Fry the zeppole for about 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to fried Italian donuts into a plate lined with paper towels.
- Once the zeppole are done and slightly cooled, dust them in powdered sugar and enjoy!

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Place water, butter, and salt in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- When the butter has melted, whisk in the flour and continue to stir, with a whisk or wooden spoon, until batter is smooth and does not stick to the sides of the pot.
- Remove from heat and transfer the dough to a bowl to cool to room temperature.
- Once it has cooled, add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Refrigerate the dough while you prepare the pastry cream filling (20 to 30 minutes).
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until combined.
- Add the flour to the egg mixture, whisking well until combined.
- Place milk and lemon zest in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the milk begins to boil, remove it from the heat and slowly add the egg mixture, constantly whisking, until the mixture is smooth.
- Return to medium heat and continue whisking until the cream thickens.
- Transfer the cream to a bowl, cover the surface with a piece of parchment paper, and let cool. Meanwhile, make the zeppole.
- Gather the ingredients.
- Prepare 8 (3-inch) squares of parchment paper or aluminum foil. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag with a star-shaped tip. Pipe a ring of dough onto each square of paper or foil, about 2 inches in diameter, to form a doughnut shape.
- Heat several inches of frying oil in a large pot with high sides to 320 F (160 C). Drop the zeppole (still on the paper or foil) in the oil one or two at a time to avoid crowding. The paper or foil will detach itself after a few seconds and you can remove it from the oil with tongs or a slotted spoon.
- When puffy and golden brown, remove each zeppole with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined platter or tray.
- When cool enough to handle, fill another pastry bag with pastry cream and attach a star-shaped tip. Slice the zeppole in half and fill with a ring of pastry cream. Place the top half on the cream and then fill the center hole with a little more pastry cream.
- Place an amarena cherry on top of the cream in the center of each doughnut, then dust all of them lightly with powdered sugar. Serve hot.
