THE BIGNE' DI SAN GIUSEPPE, IL FRITTELLARO
Do you know why they are calledSan Giuseppe cream puffs/zeppole? Legend has it that Saint Joseph, fleeing to Egypt with Mary and little Jesus, rolled up his sleeves and startedselling pancakes on the roadsides to support his family on land foreign.
And it is precisely for this reason that San Giuseppe, in Rome, is affectionately called “Er pancake maker“.
“St. Joseph pancake maker so good and so dear,
you who are so powerful to help the people now,
tutti pieni de speranza te spedimo quest’istanza:
make those who desire the guera”
wrote Checco Durante in his “Prayer to San Giuseppe Frittellaro” in 1950.
It is therefore not difficult to understand why this dessert is so widespread on the occasion of theFather's Day: celebrate the daily efforts of these "heroes", who roll up their sleeves every day to help family.
The puff pastry must belight, with a slightly salty hint, and must containabundant spoonfuls of custard, which fill the mouth with every bite like clouds of sweetness and freshness. For those with a sweet tooth, the fried version is the most suitable, but we guarantee that even our baked San Giuseppe cream puffs have nothing to envy.
