FAQ
1. Can I use cow’s ricotta instead of sheep’s ricotta?
Yes, you can substitute it, but sheep’s ricotta offers a more authentic and intense flavor.
2. How can I prevent the fritters from soaking up oil?
Make sure the oil is at the right temperature (about 170°C) and not too cold. Fry a few fritters at a time.
3. Can I freeze fritters?
You can freeze unfilled fritters. Thaw them at room temperature and fill them before serving.
Enjoy!
