We are hooked - my husband is italian and had never had anything like this - we now keep a large amount of ricotta on hand for these. The more cinnamon the better!

Added raisins.... but a little bland to me. Kids ate them all though.

quick to make, children as well as grown up loved those italian donuts.
Best rolled in cinnamon and sugar.. not just sugar. do a quick roll, let them drain on paper towel first, (important not to miss that little stepa little first, otherwise they soak up too much sugar, and it stays on in lumps.
