Zigerkrapfen

Instructions

1. 1 Combine flour, egg, melted butter, salt, and warm milk to form a smooth dough. Knead for five minutes and rest covered for twenty minutes.
2. 2 Mix Ziger or ricotta cheese with sugar, vanilla, and half the cinnamon until smooth and creamy for the filling.
3. 3 Roll dough thinly and cut into rounds about eight centimeters in diameter using a pastry cutter.
4. 4 Place a teaspoon of cheese filling on each round, fold over, and press edges firmly with a fork to seal completely.
5. 5 Heat oil to 170 degrees and fry fritters in batches for three minutes per side until puffed and golden brown.
6. 6 Drain on paper towels and dust generously with powdered sugar mixed with remaining cinnamon while still warm.
