Little ricotta pastries are delightful, fluffy treats perfect for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack. These pastries combine the creamy goodness of ricotta cheese with a tender, slightly sweet dough, making them a memorable and satisfying bite.
- Use fresh ricotta cheese for the best texture and flavor. If your ricotta is too wet, drain it using a cheesecloth to achieve the right consistency.
- Ensure the milk is lukewarm (about 110°F/45°C) to activate the yeast properly, which will give the pastries a good rise.
- Knead the dough nicely until it's smooth and elastic, this will improve the texture of the pastries.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place. Covering it with a damp cloth can help keep it moist during the proofing process.
- If desired, you can add a touch of lemon zest to the dough for a hint of citrus flavor that complements the ricotta.
- Bake until the pastries are golden brown to ensure they are cooked perfectly through.
- Allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving; this will help the flavors to meld and the texture to set properly.
With a bit of patience and care, you can create these little ricotta pastries that are sure to impress. Their delicate texture and rich flavor make them a versatile addition to your baking repertoire. Enjoy them warm, paired with your favorite tea or coffee!
