Fritule are small Croatian doughnut balls flavoured with rakija, lemon zest and raisins, fried until golden and dusted with sugar. The Adriatic Christmas market staple.
Fritule appear at Dalmatian festivals and Christmas markets along the coast; the Split version follows the wider Dalmatian-Istrian template with rakija for the lift, lemon zest for the perfume and raisins. The Dani Dioklecijana festival in late August brings cinnamon-scented stall-bought fritule to Diocletian's Palace.
