Irresistibly light and amazingly simple to prepare, these fried ricotta balls are traditionally eaten during Carnevale, when Italians indulge in all the sweet foods they plan to give up for Lent. Make these delicious treats your own by adding your favourite flavours to the mix, such as lemon or orange zest.
