Pizzarelle (Honey-Soaked Matzo Fritters)

A few days a year, Boccione "Il Forno del Ghetto," the generations-old kosher bakery on Via Portico d'Ottavia, sells pizzarelle. The bakers make them only during Passover, and due to restrictions on working, the baker is closed during most of the holiday. If you time it right, this highly seasonal specialty can be yours. Otherwise, drop by Boccione for their year-round non-Passover classics like thick ricotta cakes and Biscotti con Mandorle e Cannella. And don't be turned off by the slightly charred tops of, well, everything they sell. It's the trademark of this well-loved institution​. In case you do miss it, though, this recipe is an excellent substitution for their pizzarelle.
