Our “fritoe” fritters

The typical Venetian candy of the Carnival has always been fritters or more commonly “fritoe” in Venetian dialect, whose origins come from the Serenissima Republic of Venice by some pastry chefs called “fritolieri”. They owe their name to being fried in boiling oil and, from Venice, neighboring regions and other Italian cities over the centuries have adopted their own version of the original recipe with the addition of cream, eggnog, candied fruit and many others specialities.

The ingredients of the original recipe are these but also our Chef proposes a personal version that will leave you undoubtedly entranced! 😉

50 g sugar
4 eggs
25 l milk
1 cube of brewer’s yeast

At the White Gloves Restaurant the Chef follows a recipe that enriches the original with the addition of water, semolina, butter, pine nuts, lemons, rum, brandy and vanillin…what are you waiting for to taste them?! Obviously in this period you can find them among the desserts that make up our menu, a menu that varies every day: the starter is proposed by the Chef and for each meal you can choose from various proposals for first courses, main courses and desserts.
