Sfineġ

Sfineġ is a traditional fritter made with a combination of flour, yeast, salt, warm water, oil, and (optionally) anchovies. When the dough becomes soft, it is left to rest, and it's then combined with anchovies. The fritters are fried in hot oil until golden brown and ready to be eaten.

These small fritters are typically prepared and enjoyed during Lent, when meat is forbidden. Nowadays, there are many versions of sfineġ, both sweet and savory.
