I promised last week or so to post the recipe for my family favorite Passover treats. From what I understand the literal translation of the name is "Fried things". They have been made in my family (Sephardic) for generations but I have never had them anyplace else. I would be very interested if anyone reads this and recognizes a possible source of the recipe! We know some version of it came over from Rhodes with my Grandmother's family, but that is it.
