    Delicious Ricotta Fritters

    These light fried puffs, also known as "sfingi" are a delicious alternative to doughnuts, and so easy to make. Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a simple fruit sauce.

    2 eggs, lightly beaten

    2 tablespoons sugar

    1 cup ricotta

    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

    3/4 cup flour

    1 teaspoon baking powder

    pinch of salt

    In an electric mixer, beat eggs. Add sugar and ricotta and lemon juice. Mix until well blended. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Cover and refrigerate mixture for about 1 hour.

    Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Using a teaspoon, drop dough into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, turning with a fork. Use a slotted spoon to remove fritters from the oil. Drain on absorbent paper. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.

    Yields: about 20 fritters.
