    Chocolate Honey Fritters


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    15 ounces ricotta cheese
    3 eggs
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons melted butter
    1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1-1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
    Vegetable oil, for frying
    3/4 cup honey, warm

    Mix the ricotta and eggs with a fork. Add the flour and mix just until incorporated. Add the butter, orange zest, salt and chocolate and stir just until thoroughly combined.

    Either fry fritters up to 2 hours in advance of serving and serve them at room temperature or fry and serve them hot or warm.

    Do not keep fritters in a warm oven for long or they will dry and toughen. Just before serving time, or up to 2 hours before, place a small ovenproof platter lined with several layers of paper towel or a cloth napkin in a 200 F oven.

    In a wide skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil over medium heat until a few drops of batter sizzle vigorously when added to the pan. Carefully add rounded tablespoonfuls of batter to the hot oil. Do not crowd the fritters; they need space to fry properly and to turn. Fry until brown. Transfer the fritters to a warm platter with a fork or tongs. Repeat until all the batter is fried. Serve drizzled with warm honey or carefully pass the honey separately.

    Yields 6 to 8 servings.
