Ricotta Puffs Recipe

How to make it

• Add dry ingredients to wet, beating until the batter is smooth.
• Pour oil into a deep pan to a depth of about 1 1/2 inches. Heat to 360-degrees F.
• For each puff, drop a rounded teaspoon of batter into the oil.
• Cook several puffs at a time, but do not crowd the pan.
• Cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Adjust the heat as needed to maintain the oil temp at 360.
