Time 40m

Yield 35 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 quarts vegetable oil (for frying)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Stir in the eggs, ricotta cheese and vanilla. Mix gently over low heat until combined. Batter will be sticky.
