Ingredients

Scale
- 1/2 cup ricotta
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar to dust
Instructions
- Put the oil in a heavy pot to begin heating to about 350 degrees.
- Add the ricotta and egg to a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla extract, and whisk until you have a smooth, slightly stiff mixture.
- Once your oil has come up to the proper temperature, add the dough to the hot oil about a tablespoon at a time. I use a cookie scoop but only fill it about halfway. I can usually cook four or five little dough balls at a time.
- Flip each dough ball a few times as they're cooking until they're deep brown on the outside. Once cooked, remove to a wire rack over a baking sheet to cool and crisp up.
- Serve warm dusted with a generous amount of powdered sugar.
