• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 25

ingredients

• 200 g ricotta cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 75 g all-purpose flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• vegetable oil, for frying
• 2 teaspoons icing sugar, for dusting

directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta and eggs, and mix until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla. Mix again to make a smooth batter. This is easily done with an electric hand mixer.
2. Fill a wide, shallow skillet with about 2 cm of oil. Place over medium-high heat until a bit of batter sizzles when dropped inches Drop rounded teaspoons of batter into pan, 5 or 6 at a time. When batter puffs and undersides turn golden brown, after about 1 minute, flip kisses and allow to brown again for about 1 more minute. Transfer browned kisses to paper towels to drain, and continue until all batter is used.
3. Pile into a rough pyramid on a plate and dust with icing sugar.
