Yield Makes about 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 quarts canola oil
8 ounces ricotta cheese
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 extra-large eggs
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup nonmelting or confectioners sugar
Huckleberry Compote

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a low-sided six-quart saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 360 degrees. Line a baking pan with paper towels.
  • Meanwhile, place the ricotta in a medium bowl. Using a rubber spatula, break up the curds, loosening the consistency without completely smoothing.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and nutmeg. Make a large well in the center. Place the eggs, honey, and vanilla in a medium bowl, and whisk to combine. Pour the egg mixture into the well. Using a whisk, gradually draw the flour mixture into the egg mixture, whisking until smooth before drawing in more flour. Continue until all of the flour mixture has been incorporated.
  • Add the ricotta, and gently fold into the batter until just combined; the ricotta will remain visible in the batter.
  • Carefully spoon the batter, 1 tablespoon at a time, into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden on outside but still slightly runny on inside, about 1 minute, turning after about 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, remove fritters from oil, and transfer to lined baking pan. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • When cool enough to handle, sift nonmelting sugar over fritters; transfer to a serving platter. Serve with huckleberry compote.

These ricotta fritters were a disappointment. They were bland and greasy. I won't be making them again.

I made these ricotta fritters for my family and they loved them! They're so easy to make, and they're a great way to use up leftover ricotta cheese.

These ricotta fritters are the perfect comfort food. They're warm, fluffy, and cheesy. I love serving them with a dollop of honey or maple syrup.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my ricotta fritters turned out dense and oily. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These ricotta fritters were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

OMG, these ricotta fritters are amazing! I'm not usually a fan of ricotta cheese, but these fritters are so light and fluffy, I could eat them all day long.

These ricotta fritters were a hit at my last dinner party! They were so light and fluffy, and the orange zest added a nice pop of flavor. I will definitely be making these again soon.
