Ingredients

Servings: 1
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons quick-rise instant yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups warm water (112 to 118 degrees f/44 to 48 degrees c)
1 1/4 cups warm milk (112 to 118 degrees f/44 to 48 degrees c)
4 3-inch metal cookie cutters with open tops or crumpet molds
cooking spray

Recipe

Preparation Time:

Cook Time:

Ready Time:

whisk 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. combine water and milk in a separate bowl and quickly whisk the milk mixture into the dry ingredients until batter is thick and smooth. cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until spongy, about 1 hour. stir dough to reduce sponginess.
place a rack into the oven and preheat to 150 degrees f (65 degrees c).
spray a skillet and round metal open-top cookie cutters or crumpet molds with cooking spray. heat skillet over medium-low heat, place the metal cutters or molds into the skillet, and let the molds heat up. spoon batter into the molds, filling them about halfway. let the crumpets cook until the bottoms are browned, the tops appear nearly dry, and popped appear on top, about 5 minutes.
use tongs to lift molds out of the pan; remove molds from the crumpets. flip and return crumpets to skillet to cook the other sides until browned, 1 to 2 more minutes. repeat with remaining dough. keep cooked crumpets warm on rack in the preheated oven while you cook remaining crumpets.

Preparation Time:

Cook Time:

Ready Time:

in a large bowl, stir together 2 cups of the flour, sugar and salt. cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. make a well in the center and pour the eggs and white into it. stir with a fork, gradually bringing the dry mixture into the center until a dough forms. turn the dough out a lightly floured surface and knead in remaining flour until smooth. cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
in a small bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese, egg, sugar and vanilla until well blended. on a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. cut out 3 inch circles using a cookie cutter or a glass. place 1 tablespoon of the ricotta cheese mixture in the center of each circle. fold edges over into a half-moon shape and press to seal. raviolis can be frozen at this point and saved for later. it seems to help keep the filling from oozing out while frying.
in a large heavy skillet, heat oil, one inch deep, to 365 degrees f (180 degrees c).
place the ravioli into the hot oil so that they are not crowded. fry on both sides until golden. drain on paper towels. if you like, dust with confectioners' sugar or drizzle with honey before serving.
