Peaches W Ricotta Fritters
This is a very beautiful & light dessert! Prep time is a little screwy.. It takes about 25 mins to get everything together... 3 hours to actually allow peaches to cool.. And 35 mins to fry fritters. Sorry if timing is a little off!)!
Steps
To start , you will want to prepare the peach mixture.
Peel and pit your peaches and cut them into 1 / 2 inch wedges.
In a large bowl combine the peaches with wine and 3 teaspoons sugar.
Cover mixture and refrigerate it for 3 hours.
To make the puffs , whisk ricotta , eggs , orange zest , 3 tablesppons sugar , flour , baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
Whisk until mixture is smooth !.
Heat oven to its lowest setting and take a cookie sheet and line it with paper towels.
Be sure to layer a couple of times to be able to absorb oil.
Over medium-high heat , heat olive oil for about 7 minutes.
Test the heat of your oil by dropping a tiny bit of the dough into it.
If it bubbles right away , it is ready.
If not , allow to continue heating until the dough will immediately bubble.
Turn your oven off at this time.
Taking a tablespoon , drop six level spoonfuls of dough into oil , using a small spoon to help you scrape them into the oil.
Allow them to fry for 50 seconds per s.
