Pillowy doughnut-like fritters made with ricotta cheese and bright lemony notes. Perfect for summer entertaining, serve with ice cream, whipped cream or a variety of jams.
1: In one bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and lemon zest together.
2: In another bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese and eggs.
3: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and fold together until smooth.
4: Heat the vegetable oil in a dutch oven over medium heat (roughly 375°F).
5: Using a small cookie scoop, drop in scoops of batter and gently rotate them while cooking for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
6: Pull the fritters out of the oil and let them sit on a cooling rack lined with paper towels, then sprinkle with salt and coat with powdered sugar.
