CROATIAN FRITTERS – FRITULES
The Fritule is a sweet round Croatian fritter from Dalmatia, a festive treat, traditionally prepared for Christmas and carnival time.
The typical fritters are made with a yeasted dough but in the past, it was more commonly prepared with potatoes’ choux pastry!
Such a lovely culinary travel to enter the festive season…
