I know I am quite late in commenting ad this post is from 2005 but…. I have grown up making ricotta balls with my mom… and just as a suggestion… next time try assing some raisins to the batter (small ones though b/c they plump up) and for alcohol we usually use a splash of dark rum and a more generous splash of grand marnier… SO delicious, and the raisin adds that little extra bit of sweetness and chew!love this blog!!

Hey! But these ricotta fritters look quite similar to those we have here in Rome for ‘martedi grasso’ (‘fat tuesday?? what is it called in english???). but here they make the dough whithout ricotta and then the fried fritters are opened and filled with it (or with pastry cream)…

Ellen, your ex-mother-in-law’s recipe sounds like one that desperately needs to be resurrected! If you can manage to get more information, I’d be very curious to hear. The world needs more riGOtta fritters, you know.

They weren’t quite “fritters”, at least not as I normally think of them, but my ex-MIL used to fry up ricotta (which sounded like riGOtta when she said it) for a treat. I don’t remember her adding anything to them but I’ll have to ask. I thought she just flattened a bit of cheese in her palm and then fried it.

Michele, really, it doesn't get much better than deep-fried ricotta. And if I may be so bold, I think the Knights' love for me grew exponentially that night.Tanvi, thanks for thinking of me. I'll get right on that meme! And you'd better do the same with your fritters...Ruth, since you and Tanvi have both tagged me, I can't help but comply! Off to the archives I go. Thanks for thinking of me...And thank you, LisaJoy! This is one addiction I'm happy to enable.
