Ingredients

Servings: 26
  • 1 pack of (450 g) deep-frozen puff pastry
  • 250 g Ricotta (Italian cream cheese)
  • 175 g candied fruit (e.g. figs, cherries, pineapple, orange and lemon slices)
  • 1 untreated orange
  • 1 l oil or 1 kg frying fat
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • 1 Protein for spreading
  • 1 TABLESPOON Icing sugar for dusting

Directions

  1. 1

    Place puff pastry slices next to each other and defrost at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Place the ricotta on a sieve and drain. Dice or chop the candied fruit very finely.

  2. 2

    Wash the orange hot, dab dry and finely grate the peel. Mix ricotta, orange peel and candied fruit. Place 3 puff pastry slices on top of each other and roll out to a square (approx. 30/32cm per side) on a lightly floured work surface.

  3. 3

    Carefully fold the pastry sheet and put it aside. Roll out the remaining 3 puff pastry slices in the same way and size. Distribute the ricotta filling as 16 small blobs with a distance of 4-5 cm between them. Brush the egg white around the ricotta piles with a brush and place the set aside puff pastry sheet on top.

  4. 4

    Press the dough well around the piles. Cut out the dough pouches with a cookie cutter or a glass (approx. 6.5 cm Ø) and press the edges well down again. Place the remaining dough on top of each other (do not knead), roll out again (approx. 25 x 32 cm / approx. 6 pockets) and cut in half.

  5. 5

    Fill and cut out as already described. Roll out the dough again and fill until it is used up. Heat the oil in a high pot and add dumplings in portions to the hot oil. Bake while turning until golden brown (3-5 minutes), take out with a skimmer and drain on kitchen paper.

  6. 6

    Dust with icing sugar. For the sauce serve pureed raspberries. Tastes best freshly baked.
