Frittelle is the typical Fat Tuesday sweet. In the States they are

Things You'll Need:

* 4 tbsp of brandy
* ½ Cup of lukewarm milk
* 1 tsp of powder yeast
* 2 oz of raisin
* Confectioners' sugar
* Oil to fry

Soak the raisin in lukewarm water with two tbsp of brandy. Take a bowl
and mix the eggs with the sugar, the lemon zest, the rest of the
brandy, the milk and a pinch of salt. Add the flour mixed to the
yeast a bit at the time. Drain and squeeze the liquid off the raisins
and add them to the mixture, then cover the dough with a cloth for the
time necessary to heat the oil.
Place the dough a spoonful at the time in the boiling oil, paying

drain them with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to dry.
