A wonderfully authentic recipe for "Castagnole", an Italian Fried Dough Balls recipe. These are perfect morsels of dough fried to golden brown perfection. If you loved my Blueberry Glazed Doughnuts or Beignets, you will adore these! Of these fritters, I particularly love castagnole. They get their name from their shape, which is similar to a chestnut (castagna, in Italian).
