Frìtołe (Italian: frittelle or frittole) are Venetian doughnuts served only during Carnival. Similar to bomboloni, they are round, yeast-risen fried pastries. Frìtołe are served in a number of different forms, including frìtołe veneziane, which are unfilled and have pine nuts and raisins stirred into the dough, and several filled varieties.[1] Fillings include pastry cream, zabaione, and occasionally less common fillings such as apple or chocolate custard cream.
In the city of Molfetta, located in the province of Bari, Apulia, frittelle (sometimes spelt "frittelli") is used as another name for panzerotti.[2][3][4]
