Directions
-
In a bowl, combine the ricotta, sugar, orange zest, and salt. Mix well. Add the eggs, flour, baking yeast, and (optional) raisins. Stir the ingredients together until well combined and a smooth dough forms.
-
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low once the oil is hot. Using a spoon or your hands, form the dough into small balls and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on all sides.
-
Remove the fried dough balls with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still warm, roll the balls in granulated sugar to coat them thoroughly.
