The traditional dessert on St. Joseph's Day is Zeppole. Zeppole is a kind of pastry ravioli that is filled with vanilla pudding, whipped cream, or sweet cheese.

1 cup flour
4 eggs

Mix together water, butter, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil in a pot. Sift in the flour until thoroughly mixed. Now mix in eggs, lemon and orange peel.
