This is the favorite treat of children\u2014and adults\u2014in Corsica, but it\u2019s also the doughnut most sought after by tourists visiting the Isle of Beauty. There are even doughnut stands (or \u201cfritelle\u201d) on certain days of the week! <\/p>\n\n
Today I\u2019d like to share a recipe for brocciu fritters, a traditional Corsican dish made\u2014as you may have guessed\u2014with the island\u2019s famous cheese, brocciu (which is also used to make the delicious fiadone<\/a> ).<\/p>\n\n But if, by the time you decide to try this recipe, it\u2019s no longer in season, use brousse cheese. The texture is almost the same. I strongly advise against using ricotta or any other cheese, because the texture and flavor won\u2019t be the same at all. <\/p>\n\n The same goes for lemon peel: you can substitute orange zest or Corsican clementine zest. With that said, let\u2019s get started on the brocciu fritters, following Alexandra Rogani\u2019s simplified recipe (I\u2019ve included the video below). <\/p>\n\n Before we go into detail about the recipe, you can watch this video, created by Alexandra Rogani:<\/p>\n\nIngredients:<\/h2>\n\n
