These fritters were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to the ricotta filling, and it gave the fritters a really nice flavor. I also sprinkled some powdered sugar on top before serving, and it made them look extra special.
