Bite-sized morsels of polenta batter studded with ricotta and tangy apple – what’s not to love? A dusting of citrus-scented sugar makes these beauties taste even better, but you could simply dust with icing sugar instead if you prefer

Ingredients

Method

Main

1.Combine polenta, flour, sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a bowl, then add cream, egg and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Stand for 5 minutes to thicken slightly, then stir in ricotta and apple, making sure you don’t break up the ricotta too much – you want little lumps dispersed throughout the mixture.
2.For citrus sugar, combine ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
3.Heat oil in a saucepan to 170C. Add rough tablespoonfuls of mixture to oil in batches (be careful, hot oil will spit) and deep-fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (2-3 minutes). Drain briefly on paper towels, toss in citrus sugar to coat and serve hot.

Drink Suggestion: Fruity sparkling prosecco. Drink suggestion by Max Allen
