About the dish

Hailing from Zakynthos, this traditional Greek dessert is prepared with fine semolina flour that is cooked in water until thick and creamy. The mixture is then poured into a deep tray, and when set, it is cut into large rectangular or diamond-shaped pieces that are deep-fried until golden and crispy. Right before it is served, each piece is generously coated with cinnamon sugar. Fritoura is a staple dessert served at various festivities on Zakynthos, when it is usually prepared in large amounts and fried in traditional cauldrons.
