List of Ingredients



• 1 15-ounce container ricotta cheese
  
• 4 eggs
  
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
  
• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions



1. In a large bowl beat ricotta cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
   
2. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until combined.
   
3. Add flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat on low speed until just combined.
