Ingredients
- 1 cup ricotta
- 3 eggs
- 1 Rind of a lemon (grated- preferably organic, washed and dried)
- 1 rind of an orange (grated- preferably organic, washed and dried)
- 2 Tbsp buttermilk (or milk)
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder (or if you are able to find it, Paneangeli “Pane degli Angeli”)
- ⅓ cup raisins (soaked in Grand Marnier)
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips (or chunks, good quality)
- light olive oil (as needed, for frying)
- ½ cup sugar (as needed, to coat the doughnuts)
Instructions
- Mix the ricotta and eggs together until well combined. Add the citrus rind, buttermilk or milk, flour, baking powder (or Pane deli Angeli) and mix well.
- Stir in the soaked raisins. (Only add the chocolate on the inside of the doughnuts so it doesn't make contact with the oil.)
- Heat the oil over medium high heat, and test a little piece of dough to see if it is hot enough, without burning the dough, before frying the rest of the doughnuts.
- When brown, remove the doughnuts and place on a paper-towel-lined plate. Roll in sugar before they are completely cool.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- These are best eaten the same day.
