1 2/3 cups plain flour

5 T. ricotta

1 egg yolk

Milk as needed

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

 

Combine all the ingredients, and knead briefly until the dough is smooth. Wrap and rest for 30 minutes. Divide it into smaller portions, about the size of walnut, roll each to a flat circle, 1/8″ thick. In between rollings you should cover and let the dough rest 2 more times so that it won’t resist to spread. Pour 2″-deep oil in wok, preheat. Fry dough, due to the size you may only do one at a time, over medium/ medium-low heat until both sides golden. Drain. Serve immediately with sauce to your choice. Go plain is great too.
