cutizza
This is eaten as a dessert.  It once was once a snack called “the cake of the poor” due to the fact that the poor could not afford flour.
It is called Cutizza (also Paradell), which is a simple dough of flour and water, or if made with milk and flour it is called "laciada".
Years ago the frittura was made with only a little oil in a wide and high frying pan which hung on a chain over the fireplace.  This way the dough mixture when poured in became ready and crunchy in just a few minutes.
The cutizza (or paradell and laciada) was then served at the centre of the table and people helped themselves.

Break the eggs in a bowl and while beating them add the grated lemon rind and milk.  Work the mixture to obtain a smooth consistency without lumps.  Heat the oil in a frying pan and pour in the mixture.  Cook on one side and then turn over to cook the other side.  Sprinkle with sugar and serve warm.
The ‘cutizza' can be eaten as a snack or as a cake after supper accompanied with a sweet white wine. e.g. Muscatel.  As a snack, a sparkling red goes well.  A variation is to add a slice of apple.
