I'm giving this recipe 3 stars. The fritters were good, but not great. I think they could be improved with a few tweaks.

I thought these fritters were a bit bland. I would have liked them to be more lemony.

I used a different type of ricotta than the recipe called for, and my fritters didn't turn out as well. I think it's important to use a good quality ricotta.

These fritters are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy. The ricotta makes them so moist and tender, and the lemon zest gives them a lovely flavor. I will definitely be making these again!
