Chocolate Honey Fritters

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.
