This is my grandmothers recipe.
Ingredients:
15 ounces container ricotta cheese
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
Directions:
1. . In a large bowl beat ricotta cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
2. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until combined. Add flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Beat on low speed until just combined. Let batter stand for 30 minutes.
4. Drop batter by well-rounded teaspoonfuls, four or five at a time, into deep hot fat (365 degree F).
5. Cook 2-1/2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Remove doughnuts with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
6. Repeat with remaining batter. Shake doughnuts in a bag with powdered sugar, granulated sugar, or cinnamon/sugar mixture.
