Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly sticky.
In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature for consistent frying.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil temperature stays consistent between batches.
Allow the fritters to cool for about 2 minutes before dusting generously with powdered sugar.
Serve warm and enjoy these delightful bites with a cup of coffee or tea!
