Categories     Cheese     Fry     Vegetarian

Yield 60 munchkins

Number Of Ingredients 8

500g smooth ricotta
4 (700g) whole eggs
1/2 cup castor sugar
2 1/2 cups self raising flour
1 tsp orange zest (optional)
For the sugar & cinnamon
1 cup castor sugar
2 tea ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a deep frying pan with fresh oil. *The temp should be medium heat. If its too high they will burn and be raw inside, if its too low they'll absorb the oil and be ruined. 2. In a bowl put the ricotta & eggs. Then add the sugar and whisk the ingredients together. 3. Then whisk in the flour. This will create a batter-like mixture. 4. Drop a generous size teaspoon of batter into the oil - not adding more than 6 at a time. 5. Once the fritters are cooked & have a golden color to them. You can take one out & cut it open to see if they are cooked through. Then drain them onto a paper towel. 6. While they are draining repeat the process of frying some more fritters. Then go back to the fritters that are draining on a paper towel & roll them onto the sugar & cinnamon mixture coating them well.
