Frittelle (also called fritole) are a special kind of doughnut from Venice, Italy. People usually eat them only during the fun Carnival season.
These tasty treats are round and fluffy. They are made with yeast dough and then fried until golden. Frittelle are a bit like bomboloni, another popular Italian pastry.
What Kinds of Frittelle Are There?
Frittelle come in different styles. The most classic type is called Fritelle Veneziane. These are plain inside, but the dough has yummy pine nuts and raisins mixed in.
You can also find frittelle with different fillings. Some popular fillings include creamy pastry cream or a sweet custard called zabaione. Sometimes, you might even find them filled with apple or chocolate cream.
Where Else Are Frittelle Found?
In the city of Molfetta, which is in the Puglia region of Italy, the word "frittelle" is used differently. There, it sometimes means panzerotti. Panzerotti are like small, savory turnovers.
