Summary

Name: Frittelle De Corleone

Category: Italian

1/4 Cup Raisins, golden

1/2 Cup Marsala OR 1/2 Cup Sherry

1 Cup Flour, all purpose

1 Pinch Salt

2 Large Egg yolks

1/2 Cup Milk

Oil, vegetable

Sugar, powdered

Soak the raisins in Marsala for 30 minutes.

Drain the raisins, reserving the wine. Put the flour and salt into a

mixing bowl. Stirring very gently with a wooden spoon, gradually blend in

the wine until smooth. Stir in the egg yolks and just enough milk to bring

the batter to the consistency of a thick cream sauce.

In a large skillet, heat 1 inch of oil to 375 F. Using about 3 tablespoons

for each fritter, spoon batter into the oil; DO NOT CROWD. Fry the batter

until golden, turning once, 4 to 5 minutes.

Drain on paper towels; repeat with remaining batter. Dust with powdered

sugar and serve hot.
