Astonishingly easy and unbelievably light, that's these dessert fritters. Ricotta whisked into the basic batter is the secret to the airy texture; fresh lemon and orange zest is another great addition for cutting through the richness. They're well worth buying a deep-fry thermometer for if you don't have one already.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together ricotta, eggs, sugar, both zests, and vanilla. Gently fold ricotta mixture into flour mixture until just combined.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 inches oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350°F. Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
- Working in batches, carefully drop heaping tablespoons of dough into oil. Cook, turning once, until puffed and golden, 3 to 4 minutes a batch. Transfer to rack using a spider or slotted spoon. Let cool slightly, then roll in sugar until coated. Sprinkle with more of both zests; serve immediately.
