Rum And Ricotta Fritters - {Fritelle Di Ricotta E Rhum}

Recipe Ingredients

20 oz	568g	Fresh whole milk ricotta
5		Eggs - separated
1/4 cup	59ml	Dark rum
2 tablespoons	30ml	Sugar
1 1/3 cups	83g / 2.9oz	All-purpose flour
1 tablespoon	15ml	Baking powder
		Peanut oil - as needed
		Confectioners' sugar - as needed

Recipe Instructions

In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the ricotta until it is smooth and creamy. Turn the ricotta out into a large bowl and add the lightly beaten yolks, the rum, and the sugar, beating well.

Sift together the flour and baking powder and add to the ricotta mixture. Beat the whites to stiff but not dry peaks and fold them gently into the ricotta mixture.

In a large, heavy-bottomed pan over a medium flame, slowly heat at least 4-inches of peanut oil and, before the oil reaches the smoking point, form the fritters by dropping scant tablespoonfuls of the batter into the bubbling oil. Cook the fritters until golden, then turn, and cook the other side.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

This recipe yields 3 dozen fritters.
