Grandmom Josephine DiGregorio's recipe.
Grandmom and Grandpop, as well as Mom and Dad, worked the dough together. One would stretch the dough while the other would hold one end then the other with forks in the oil so the dough stayed stretch out. You can imagine the fights that ensued as they worked!! I think it must have added to the wonderful taste and certainly to the tradition. Serve with sugar for dipping.
