Steps
step 1Mix ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, milk & eggs
In a large bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, milk, and eggs until all the ingredients are well blended.
step 2 Mix in salt & pepper, flour & baking powder
Mix in salt and pepper, flour, and baking powder to the wet ingredients. Set aside.
step 3Heat oil to 350 degrees
In a heavy pot, heat 2 quarts canola oil to 350 degrees, keeping a close watch on the temperature with a candy thermometer.
spacer tip Start heating the oil 15-20 minutes early.
step 4Spoon batter into oil
Once the oil reaches 350 degrees, or slightly over, carefully spoon the batter into the hot oil.
spacer tip To avoid, or at least minimize, hot oil splashes and burns, make sure to hold the batter spoon as close as possible to the surface.
step 5Cook 8-10 minutes
Cook for 2-3 minutes, depending on the size of the fritters, until they’re a dark golden brown.
step 6Remove fritters & let cool
Remove fritters from oil, place on paper towel, and let cool for 4-5 minutes.
