With a hint of lemony freshness, these sugar-coated lemon ricotta donut holes are a delightful treat. They are ideal for sating your sweet tooth because they have a crispy exterior and a soft interior.

Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 tsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup ricotta cheese. 1 large egg. 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted. 1 tsp vanilla extract. Zest of 1 lemon. Oil for frying. 1/2 cup powdered sugar for coating. Lemon wedges for garnish.

Instructions: Mix the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Beat the ricotta cheese, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and zest of the lemon together thoroughly in a separate bowl. Once a dough forms, pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir. Avoid over-mixing. Preheat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius. Small portions of dough should be dropped into the hot oil using a spoon or tiny cookie scoop. Fry in small batches, being careful not to pack the pot too full. Fry for two to three minutes per batch, turning occasionally, or until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, remove the donut holes and set them on a plate covered with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil. While still warm, evenly coat the donut holes with powdered sugar by rolling them in it. Serve right away after adding lemon wedges as a garnish.
