Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce container ricotta cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla
- 1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl beat ricotta cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until combined. Add flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat on low speed until just combined.
Let batter stand for 30 minutes.
Drop batter by well-rounded teaspoonfuls, four or five at a time, into deep hot fat (365 degrees F).
Cook 2-1/2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once.
Remove doughnuts with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter. Cool completely.
Shake doughnuts in a bag with powdered sugar, granulated sugar, or cinnamon/sugar mixture.
Makes 3 dozen.
