Ricotta Fritters with Plum Puree



ACTIVE TIME: 1 HR 5 MIN

TOTAL TIME: 3 HRS 30 MIN

MAKES ABOUT 20 FRITTERS



Italian ricotta is made from whey drained off while making cheese, often a sheep's milk cheese like pecorino. You can also use a supermarket ricotta to make these crispy fritters. Just drain off any excess moisture before using commercial brands.



ingredients



1/2 pound ricotta cheese

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons brandy

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

1 large egg, beaten

Pinch of salt

Vegetable oil, for frying

Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Blood Plum Puree, for serving



directions



In a large bowl, mix the ricotta with the flour, brandy, granulated sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, egg and salt. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

In a medium saucepan, heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 300° on a candy thermometer. Without crowding, drop tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil and fry over moderate heat until golden brown and cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Drain the fritters on a rack set over a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining batter. Dust the fritters with confectioners' sugar and serve hot or warm with the Blood Plum Puree.
