Ricotta Fritters

By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
25 minutes
15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 200 g ricotta
  • 2 free-range eggs
  • 80 g cake flour
  • 1 ½ T caster sugar
  • 1 ½ t baking powder
  • 2 t ground ginger
  • ½ t salt
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • vegetable oil, for deep-frying
  • icing sugar, for dusting
  • 100 g dark chocolate
  • 4 T extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 orange, zested, to garnish

Method

Mix the ricotta, eggs and cake flour, then add the sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, salt and lemon zest and combine.

Heat the oil in a saucepan. Spoon the batter into the oil and cook until golden and crispy. Place on a baking tray and finish in an oven preheated to 180°C for 5 minutes if not completely cooked in the centre.

Place the cooked fritters on a large serving dish and dust with the icing sugar. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the chocolate onto the fritters and drizzle over the olive oil. Garnish with orange zest.
