Ricotta FrittersFrom Italian Cooking and Living, October/November 2004
vegetable oil for frying
4 cups flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
3 pounds ricotta, drained
8 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
ground cinnamon for dusting
confectioners' sugar for dusting
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, warm enough oil for deep frying. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, ricotta, eggs and granulated sugar. Mix until the batter is smooth and uniform. Carefully lower the batter into the hot oil, 1 tablespoon at a time. Fry until the fritters are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels. (You will have to do this in batches.) To serve, dust with the cinnamon and confectioners' sugar. Makes 30 fritters
