Ingredients

1 large egg
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh orange zest
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup oil (for frying, I use a light olive oil)
confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

Whisk together egg and granulated sugar, then whisk in zest, Grand Marnier, ricotta, flour, and salt until just combined.
Heat oil in a heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.
Working in batches of 4, spoon 1 tablespoon of batter per fritter into oil and fry, turning over once, until golden on both sides, about 2 minutes.
Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and cool slightly.
Dust fritters with confectioners sugar and serve immediately.
