A frittela is a deep fried pastry and it’s something you’ll often find at Italy’s Christmas fairs, but not only.
It’s a kind of deep fried bread, which is then coated in sugar. Not great for diets, or teeth, but for some Italians, having a fritella is a not to be missed annual event. Kids love them too.
They are cooked in front of you and served baking hot – just the thing to keep the winter cold at bay.
Stop reading, start speaking
Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.
You tend to find you become almost as sugar coated as a frittela are after eating one – and you’ll probably end up with sticky little fingers too.
This is a frittela:
I have been known to eat one or two.
