Ingredients For Dough
Directions o Combine sugar, eggs, salt, butter, vanilla extract, lemon peel and rum. Mix well.
Notes Lina Pietrantonio recalls that her father who was born in Northern Italy (though not in Venice) told her that this style of fritter was served for Carnival..... P.S. In some areas of Northern Italy the recipe, crostoli, does not refer to fried strips of dough but rather to fried balls of dough. For this style of fritter see the corresponding recipe in this category. Photo and notes: Mary Melfi |
