Frittelle are traditional Venetian fried dough balls that are generally served around carnival. Nevertheless, these addicting little treats are perfect for so many special occasions such as birthdays, holidays, or even family get-togethers. Some frittelle are filled with ingredients such as pastry cream and zabaione while others like this one are left unfilled because sometimes less is more!
