To create the lightest, fluffiest texture for our churro-like bites (crisp on the outside, tender on the inside), we got an assist from an unlikely ingredient: ricotta cheese. We can’t get enough of these delightful doughnut strips, especially when dunked in maple syrup simmered with warming spices—a seasonal twist sure to impress.

Инструкция
