Dough preparation:
Put the well-drained ricotta, sugar, baking soda, lemon and orange zest, yogurt and mix.
Add vanilla and flour gradually while kneading. We need to get a soft dough. Let it rest for about 30 minutes.
After about 30 minutes, using a bit of flour, take some dough about 1 1/2 oz and form a ball. Take another piece of dough (about 4 oz) and form a donut.
Proceed like this until the dough is finished. Then fry them in hot oil for a few minutes, turning on both sides.
Place them on absorbent paper. Once cooking is finished, place a donut,
cover it with cream and jam, add a ball and cover it too with a bit of cream and jam.
Finally, sprinkle with some powdered sugar on top!
Enjoy your meal!
