Zeppole

These are heavenly little fried doughnuts--serve with powdered sugar, or roll in cinnamon sugar. Recipe courtesy of Giada DiLaurentis.

1 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 Tbs. sugar
2 beaten eggs
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 tsp. vanilla

1. Place all ingredients in a large saucepan over low heat. Mix with an electric mixer until combined. Mixture will be sticky.

2. Heat frying oil to 375. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough in the oil and fry for 3-4 minutes. Remove from oil and drain.
