Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup ricotta
2 large eggs
1/2 cup Italian 00 flour (note below)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon superfine sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil for frying
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • TOTAL TIME 20 minutes 1. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta and eggs, and mix until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla. Mix again to make a smooth batter. 2. Fill a wide, shallow skillet with about 3/4 inch of oil. Place over medium-high heat until a bit of batter sizzles when dropped in. Drop rounded teaspoons of batter into pan, 5 or 6 at a time. When batter puffs and undersides turn golden brown, after about 1 minute, flip kisses and allow to brown again for about 1 more minute. Transfer browned kisses to paper towels to drain, and continue until all batter is used. 3. Pile kisses in a rough pyramid on a serving plate. Pass confectioners' sugar through a small fine-meshed sieve evenly over baci. Serve immediately. YIELD 6 servings
