It&#8217;s a lot of fun for the kids, they can dress up with costumes and they enjoy the parade with the giant Carnival floats. It&#8217;s a very festive celebration and, of course, we have special sweets just for Carnival: frittelle and frappole. Frittelle are Venetian fried doughnuts served during Carnival, they are round pastries, yummy!! Andrea from DifferentTaste (check out his recipe channel, his videos are enchanting!\u00a0 https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/EnjoyDifferentTaste?feature=watch) came to Los Angeles to visit the TasteMade studios and we had fun cooking together some Italian\/American sweets: we decided to create a fun colored Carnival party sweet compilation. Frittelle, Frappole, m&amp;m cookies and homemade pancakes with confetti!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buonapappa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/frittelle3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1464\" alt=\"frittelle3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buonapappa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/frittelle3-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.buonapappa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/frittelle3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.buonapappa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/frittelle3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.buonapappa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/frittelle3-1080x1440.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.buonapappa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/frittelle3.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buonapappa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/frittelle1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1462\" alt=\"frittelle1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buonapappa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/frittelle1-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.buonapappa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/frittelle1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.buonapappa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/frittelle1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.buonapappa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/frittelle1-1080x810.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.buonapappa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/frittelle1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with the Frittelle recipe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buonapappa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/frittelle-ingred.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1460\" alt=\"frittelle ingred\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buonapappa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/frittelle-ingred-231x300.jpg\" width=\"231\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div>In a large bowl, mix the flour with the eggs and the sugar.
