Sfinge

1cup flour
1tsp baking powder
2 tbsp sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
1 1lb tub of whole milk Ricotta
Vegetable oil for frying
Powdered sugar for dusting or honey
Cinnamon (optional)

Sfinge is a dessert that Billy's great Aunt made when he was younger. Billy and his family talked about it during a family dinner. I knew I had to recreate it for him and his family during Christmas this year.

Instructions:
I combined the wet ingredients (eggs, ricotta, and extract) first at room temperature. I then added all the dry ingredients (sugar and flour). I added a tsp of cinnamon because.. Why the hell not? I heated the veg. oil to *325 with a candy thermometer. I used a small spoon to scoop dough into oil and let them fry for 6 minutes! And voilà!!!! Sfinge!!!
Billy likes his with honey, I prefer the powdered sugar! Enjoy this fluffy deliciously addicting doughnut!
