- Prepare the dough:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and light.
- Add the ricotta cheese and orange zest, blending until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
- Shape the crostatas:
- Divide the dough into 10 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball and flatten slightly to form small crostatas.
- Ensure the dough is evenly shaped for consistent frying.
- Frying:
- Heat olive oil (or sunflower oil) in a deep pan over medium heat.
- Fry the crostatas in batches until golden brown on both sides (about 3–4 minutes per side).
- Remove and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Dusting:
- Once the frittelle have cooled down a bit, generously dust them with powdered sugar.
