Good luck on getting these cooked all the way. Burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. In the trash. Perhaps I will try again without the ricotta.

These were unbelievably good! They were so light and fluffy. I didn't alter the recipe at all. Though I did follow the recommendation of using the ziplock bag instead of a spoon to drop them in the oil and that worked like a charm. Like a lot of others, I only made this to use up some ricotta cheese that I had left over. Because of this recipe, I will now be buying ricotta just to make these!!! The only complaint that I have is that I ate so many, I almost made myself sick.

Kids LOVED them, like other reviews they ate the whole bunch still warm, and I have a PICKY 7yo who loved them too. I used a deep fryer , worked ok but stuck to the basket sometimes. Next time I'll try using the pan.

Didn't know what to expect, but this reminded me of funnel cake! It was simple, yummy, and a great way to use up ricotta cheese.

I remember as a Kid my Aunt Annie used to make these and no one had a written down recipe, when I found this I just wanted to try it. These are as good if not better than my Great Aunt..... She would be proud.

I have been looking and looking for a recipe like this! As a kid, my mom used to make something very similar and I am SO excited to have found this recipe! Through the years, we have lost the recipe we used so I'm really hoping these turn out as well as the ones I remember growing up!

Made these for my daughters' birthday, and they were gone before my girls could even taste them! The honey is a great touch. Will definitely make again!

Favorite family recipe: the sfingi never get to leave the kitchen as the kids and adults stand next to the deep fryer and fight to eat them. Variations include adding chopped apples to the batter and shaking in cinnamon sugar in a brown paper bag after draining. Hint: dropping these into the deep fryer using two teaspoons results in some "fingers" stretching out from the dough, which are my family's favorite crispy part.
