Fritule

Fritule (pronounced freetooleh) are aromatic bite-sized dough balls made particularly for Christmas, flavoured with lemon and orange zest, grape brandy (loza in Croatian) and/or dark rum, and sprinkled with icing sugar. They resemble little doughnuts, the Italian zeppole, Venetian frìtole, and the Dutch Christmas snack “oliebollen” (“balls of oil”).
