This is essentially fried dough but is fondly known as “Zeps” in our family. Growing up in the Bronx, after midnight mass at St. Raymond’s (our home parish) my family and many friends would all go back to our apartment that we shared with my grandmother — who was the mother of 10 children and beloved by all — and she would make Zeps. Other food would be available but everyone was there for the Zeps. My mother maintained the tradition with her 4 children and now I carry it on. Every year I host a holiday party and Zeps are proudly served to all. It is the highlight of the party!
