Directions
-
In a large bowl, mix the ricotta, sugar, orange zest, oil, and milk using a fork or mixer until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, then mix until a soft dough forms.
-
Take small portions of the dough, roll them into ropes, and shape them as desired (such as rings or loops). Heat enough seed oil in a pan for deep frying. Once hot, fry the dough in batches until golden brown. Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still warm, coat the doughnuts in granulated sugar.
