Method

Doughnut Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Doughnut Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until smooth.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until well combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Fry the Doughnuts

    Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Royal Glaze Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Glaze

    In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.

  2. 6

    Glaze the Doughnuts

    Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly, dip the tops into the royal glaze and place on a wire rack to allow excess glaze to drip off.
