Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a separate large bowl, lightly beat the 2 large eggs. Add in the 1/3 cup of ricotta cheese and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- In a deep skillet or pot, pour vegetable oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature.
- Using a small scoop or spoon, carefully drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the warm lemon-ricotta fritters with a generous dollop of chilled lemon curd. Enjoy immediately!
Tips:
- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before starting; this helps in achieving a smoother batter.
- Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best flavor.
- When frying the fritters, maintain a consistent oil temperature to avoid burning or undercooking them.
- Drain the fritters on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Let the lemon curd cool slightly before serving to allow it to thicken properly.
Martha's Lemon-Ricotta Fritters with Lemon Curd are an exceptional dessert that delivers a delightful balance of flavors and textures. The fritters are crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and perfectly complemented by the zesty lemon curd.
