Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- all purpose flour
- baking powder
- salt
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
Whisk the all purpose flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, a generous spoon of cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg enthusiastically for about a minute, in place of sifting.
- ricotta cheese
- pumpkin puree
- sugar
- 2 whole large eggs
- vanilla extract
In another bowl whisk full fat ricotta with the pumpkin puree, some sugar, two large eggs and a splash of real vanilla extract until smooth.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet with a spatula, to a very thick batter or very loose dough.
- oil
Use the two-spoon method, scooping with one and pushing off with the other, to drop the batter into oil at 375, six at a time and from low down so it does not splash.
Fry about a minute, turn them over, and give the other side about a minute, two to two and a half minutes in total.
