RICOTTA BEIGNETS
I love yeast-risen doughnuts, but I adore this beignet recipe, which takes you from zero to doughnuts in 45 minutes or less. This batter is simple to whip up and it cooks fast. When I make these for a houseful of guests, the aroma is enough to wake everyone up. The beignets disappear just as quickly as they appeared, accompanied by sighs of satisfaction.

Steps:
- Cover a baking sheet with several layers of paper towels.
- In a large bowl, whisk the ricotta to loosen it slightly. Add the eggs and egg yolk and whisk to combine. Add the granulated sugar and orange zest and whisk to combine. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add the seeds to the bowl (use the pod for vanilla sugar; see Chef's Notes) and whisk to combine. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk just to combine--do not overmix. The batter can be used immediately or refrigerated overnight (see Chef's Notes).
- In a medium pot, heat about 4 inches of oil over medium heat. You can either attach a deep-fry or candy thermometer to the pot and heat until it reads around 325 degrees F (162 degrees C) or just use a little bit of batter to test the oil temperature: If the batter immediately sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready; if the batter begins to brown immediately, the oil is too hot--remove it from the heat and let it cool somewhat, then try the test again.
- Working in batches so you don't overcrowd the pot, drop tablespoons of dough (I use a No. 60 or 1-tablespoon scoop, but you can just wing it) into the hot oil and fry, turning occasionally, until the beignets are golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or a spider to lift the beignets out of the oil and set them on the paper towels to drain.
- Transfer the warm beignets to a serving platter. Sift powdered sugar generously over them and serve immediately.

Steps:
- 1. Pour the warm milk into a large bowl. Mix 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar, the yeast, and a heaping tablespoon of the flour into the milk, mixing with a whisk, until both the sugar and the yeast have dissolved.
- 2. Once bubbles have developed on the surface of the milk and it begins to foam, whisk in the butter, salt, and vanilla. Add the remaining flour and sugar, folding them into the wet ingredients with a large rubber spatula. Knead the dough by hand in the bowl for about 5 minutes, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 6-8 hours.
- 3. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll out on a floured surface to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut into 2-inch squares, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and allow the beignets to rise for about an hour.
- 4. Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over high heat until it reaches 350°F. Use a candy thermometer to check temperature. Fry the beignets in small batches in the hot oil, turning them every 30 seconds or so with tongs, until golden brown all over. Use tongs to remove beignets from the oil and drain on paper towels. Put the powdered sugar into a fine-mesh strainer and dust the warm beignets generously with the sugar.

- Prepare ricotta beignets: In a bowl, mix the ricotta, eggs, sugar and lemon until well combined. In a seperate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a spatula, fold the dry ingredients gently into the ricotta mixture until just combined. Refrigerate the batter while you prepare the lemon-cardamom sugar and lemon glaze.
- Prepare lemon-cardamom sugar: Place the sugar in a bowl and add the zest of one lemon. Using your fingertips, rub the sugar and lemon zest together until very fragrant. Add the cardamom and mix until combined.
- Prepare glaze: In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and heavy cream until smooth and thick. Set aside.
- Line a baking sheet or large plate with paper towels. Using a candy thermometer, heat the oil in a medium (3-4 quart) saucepan over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the beignet batter from the fridge. Using a medium ice-cream or cookie scoop (and a spoon), scoop the beignet and drop the batter gently into the hot frying oil–frying only 2 to 3 beignets at a time (do not crowd the pan, as it will cause the frying oil temperature to drop quickly).

- Heat 2 inches vegetable oil in a large deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350ºF on a candy thermometer. (As oil is heating, watch thermometer carefully and adjust heat to keep oil from getting too hot.) Line a large plate with paper towels.
- Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of batter into hot oil and fry, turning once with tongs or a slotted spoon, until beignets are golden, 2 to 3 minutes total. Remove beignets with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate briefly to drain. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and serve immediately.
