Fried dough balls with raisins, pine nuts, and citrus zest, dusted with powdered sugar.

Taste translation

If you like doughnuts or beignets — these are Venice’s Carnival version. Light, sweet, addictive.

Zen's note

Carnival season is their natural habitat — but when you find a good one, eat it warm.
