Directions:
Directions:
Add the 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon to a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan combine the butter, salt, 3 tablespoons of sugar and water over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Take pan off the heat and stir in the flour. Return pan to the heat and stir continuously until mixture forms a ball, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the flour mixture to a medium bowl. Using an electric mix on low speed, add eggs, 1 at a time, incorporating each egg completely before adding the next. Beat until smooth. If not frying immediately, cover the plastic wrap and reserve in the refrigerator.

Meanwhile, pour enough oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep fry thermometer registers 375º F.

Using a small ice-cream scooper or 2 small spoons, carefully drop about a tablespoon of the dough into the hot olive oil, frying in batches. Turn the zeppole once or twice, cooking until golden brown and puffed up - about five minutes. Drain on paper towels. Toss with cinnamon-sugar Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.
