Ingredients

Servings

for the ricotta doughnuts:

  • 1 ricotta cheese 15-oz/450g container
  • 4 egg large
  • lemon zest grated from 4 lemons
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 100g
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups flour spooned and leveled, 190g

additionally:

  • 3-4 cups cooking oil for cooking the doughnuts, for frying
  • superfine sugar for coating the doughnuts, or powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Add the ricotta, eggs, lemon zest, sugar, vanilla, and salt to a large bowl. Whisk until combined.
  2. Whisk in baking powder.
  3. Gently whisk in flour until combined. Cover the bowl with a kitchen cloth while you´re heating up the oil.
  4. Heat the oil in a medium/large pot until 350°F (175°C).
  5. Scoop the batter with an ice cream scoop into the oil. Don´t add too much batter at once or the temperature of the oil will drop quickly.
  6. Cook the doughnuts in batches, for about 3-4 minutes, turning them once on the other side, until golden brown in color.
  7. Transfer with a spider strainer or a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
  8. Let cool until just slightly warm them roll in superfine or powdered sugar until coated on all sides.
  9. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Calories = 1 doughnut (1/22 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
  • How to measure flour: Fluff the flour by stirring it in the bag/flour container with a spoon. Spoon the flour and sprinkle it into your measuring cup. Sweep off the excess flour with the back of a knife.
