Instructions

Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk the wet ingredients. If adding dry yeast, mix it into the melted butter first. Gradually stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, adding it in thirds until fully blended.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or heavy pot so it reaches halfway up the sides, bringing it to 375 degrees F.
Spoon tablespoon-sized portions of batter into the hot oil in batches, frying until they turn golden brown, around 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the fried zeppoles to paper towels to absorb excess oil, then cool them on a wire rack.
Coat the zeppoles with maple glaze or options like powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, chocolate, white chocolate, caramel, sprinkles, or even bacon bits. Place them on a platter and serve right away.

Maple Glaze:

In a bowl, blend the powdered sugar with vanilla extract. Gradually whisk in maple syrup until you get a thick, smooth glaze. Adjust with extra sugar or syrup to reach your desired thickness and flavor balance.
