Ingredients

Doughnuts

• 1 cup ricotta
• 1 cup self-raising flour
• 1 tbsp caster sugar
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 2 eggs
• Oil for deep frying

For Dusting

• 1 cup caster sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon powder

Method

1. In a large mixing bowl, add in all the ricotta and eggs and whisk removing any lumps.
2. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix with a spatula
3. Heat a small pot with oil up to 170C-180C. You want to use a neutral oil such as vegetable, canola or rice bran oil for this.
4. Using two tablespoons, create balls and immediately drop them into the hot oil.
5. Turn the doughnuts over when one side is done. This should take 4-5 mins or until golden brown.
6. Remove the doughnuts from the oil and drain the excess oil on some paper towels.
7. In a separate bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar together and roll the ricotta doughnuts into the sugar mixture to coat.
