Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
These were always a favorite of mine. I think of them as the Italian version of a funnel cake. They are basically fried pizza dough. Cousin Rich Malozi and I actually planned to open a stand at Musikfest in Bethlehem years ago to sell them. Unfortunately the costs of insurance and Musikfest's percentage of sales led us to choose not to pursue. Who know's, maybe that will change some day! The world needs to taste these!
