This is the family recipe I used to make as a child with my mother and inherited from her. I only converted the quantities to metric because once everything was done "by eye," as happens with all mothers' and grandmothers' recipes. Like all traditional recipes, there are many variations: in Florence they are also eaten in the month before the celebration and there are real festivals dedicated to this sweet. This version makes the fritters very creamy, with a fluid texture that wins you over at first bite, but I'll also explain how to get a texture where the rice grains remain distinct. Choosing the right rice is essential, which I'll indicate in the ingredients, and don't forget the sugar trick: dipping them just after they cool makes them even more irresistible. St. Joseph's rice fritters are an irresistible dessert, perfect to enjoy after dinner or as an afternoon snack, and one leads to another, immediately bringing to mind the flavors of my childhood and home cooking.
