Here is the recipe for “frittelle of San Giuseppe”!
Boil 4 fists of rice with a pinch of salt (some boil rice in half water and half milk). Drain and let cool. Then add 2 eggs, cottage cheese (if you do not boil rice with milk), 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon powder, 2 tablespoons of sambuca or alchermes, two tablespoons of flour 00. If you like, you can add soaked raisins or apple pieces. Dip the dough in hot oil by spoonfuls and brown on both sides. Dry on paper towels and sprinkle with granulated sugar
