FAQ:
Q: Can I use low-fat ricotta for these fritters? A: Yes, you can use low-fat ricotta. However, the fritters may turn out slightly less creamy and rich in texture.
Q: Do I need to add flour to the recipe? A: No, this recipe does not require flour. The ricotta cheese and eggs provide enough structure and fluffiness for the fritters to hold together.
Q: Can I bake these fritters instead of frying? A: While these fritters are traditionally fried for a crispy exterior, you can try baking them at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep in mind, the texture might be a bit different.
Q: Can I make the batter ahead of time? A: Yes, you can prepare the batter and refrigerate it for up to 2 hours before frying. This can help the flavors meld together even more.
