Yeast-free apple and ricotta frittelle.William MeppemTraditionally eaten during Carnevale in Italy,these frittelle spiked with cinnamon,marsala and lemon,are irresistible any time of the year. They are incredibly light thanks to the ricotta,and since yeast is not needed here they come together within minutes. I've added sultanas to the batter,which add a lovely sweetness,but raisins or currants could be used instead. And a tablespoon of marsala is another good addition,if you have it.
