Donut Preparation
- 1
Make the Donut Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the ricotta, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.

Fry the Donuts
Heat the cooking oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Using a spoon or a piping bag, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Maple Cream
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form.
