She was from Calabria. My cousins requested I make them, as I am the only one who was handed down the recipe. After searching for quite awhile I was suprised and happy to find your recipe. The only difference is that our recipe calls for the dough to be kneaded before it raises. Can you explain the difference in the outcome? Note: I am copying the recipe for everyone!

Something is just off in what she wrote down for us. We cannot wait to try this gripelle recipe this year! This is VERY close to what she wrote for us.... Can't thank you enough!

My Grandma used to make these. She never let me help her make them until she fell and hurt her shoulder but she already made the dough. I got to make the "doughnut" and she almost fainted when I got the flour to handle the dough. She is long gone and my cousin and I don't remember how she did it, although we spent hours in her kitchen watching. Now I know. Thanks to you, I hope she is proud of us this Christmas eve, watching us from heaven. Bless you and Merry Christmas. Joe

It's a pinch and a splash and handful. I would say a few handfuls! that’s the toughest part Nina… no one ever writes measurements down. It’s a pinch and a splash and handful.

They call these Kholura (I know I have misspelled this). Do you have a recipe for (again sorry for the spelling) Pitacelli's? It's basically flour, egg, milk and zuccini that has been soaked in salt. Then you spoon this mixture into hot oil. Mine NEVER turn out the may my mother in laws does...actually nothing ever does that's why I need your help. Love your website.

It tastes very much like the ones she used to make. My husband's town called them zeppole in their dialect.
