Small rounds of fried dough, dusted with sugar and heaped on a plate, belong to a food tradition found in many parts of the world under different names, from Italian zeppole to Dutch oliebollen. Cooks once made them at home or sold them at fairs and festivals, frying the dough in hot fat and finishing it with sugar while still warm so the coating would cling. The sugar is what sets the treat apart from plain fried dough, giving it a sweetness that made it a favorite for holidays and special gatherings.
