Ingredients:
1 cup ricotta cheese (drained)
2 large eggs
2 tbsp sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
A pinch of salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional for extra flavor)
Oil for frying (such as vegetable or olive oil)
Directions:
Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Stir until smooth and the ingredients are well incorporated.
Heat the oil: In a medium-sized skillet, pour enough oil to cover the bottom. Heat over medium-high heat.
Shape the fritters: Using a spoon, scoop small portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Shape them gently with the back of the spoon into rounds.
Fry until golden: Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain excess oil: Once fried, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Serve your ricotta fritters warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with honey for an extra touch of sweetness. You can also pair them with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream.
Storage: These fritters are best enjoyed immediately after frying, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a toaster oven or skillet.
