A valentines special

For valentines day i cooked a lovely meal for my hubby, son and our friends and for pudding I wanted to make something light and sweet and these ticked the boxes. So simple to make yet extremely moreish, you may be tempted to make more....I did hehehe :)

Italian Doughnut recipe

200g Ricotta
2 Eggs
80g Plain Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tbsp Caster Sugar
Zest of half an Orange
Vegetable oil for deep frying

Combine the ricotta and egg and mix thoroughly.
Add the flour, baking powder, sugar, zest and mix well.
Heat the oil in a deep pan, when it gets hot enough, spoon small amounts of the batter into the hot oil using a teaspoon. They will turn golden quite quickly and some will turn over by themself but keep and eye on them and turn them over if needed. Allow them to go golden on the other side and using a slotted spoon remove them and place on some kitchen paper.
Transfer to a plate and dust with icing sugar and serve and enjoy :)
