Fritole Ingredients
Method
Fritole Directions
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk and lemon zest. Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until just mixed. Fold in the golden raisins.

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

Fry the Fritole
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve with Zabaglione
Serve the fritole warm, dusted with powdered sugar and accompanied by a cup of Faretti zabaglione for dipping.
