BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Italian Food Old Recipe

I am looking for an old recipe that my grandmother use to make. It was a light pastry that was fried in hot oil then she covered it honey and confectionery sugar. They were called kurtalas not sure of the spelling. She is 95 I asked her she said they took long to make and they had a lot of eggs in them. Any ideas?

It could be one of many. Your best bet is To look at the dessert subject.

Looking for a recipe for szurtlcyth. It's a sweet meat dish from Latvia. Any ideas?

look on the food network

:)Could this recipe also be called CRUSTULI (This is along the same lines as the TURDILLI & the SCALILLI)

Ok, let me try the link again-- [URL]www.isi.edu/touch/recipes/castagnoli.html[/URL] for the castagnoli

I thought the little fried dough balls were made at Christmas not Easter. They also make a fried dough that looks a lot like the Polish Crusticki which are sort of liek bowties.

Mexican sopapillos are similar, but flat instead of balls.
