Molto Bene Doughnuts
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a doughnut pan.

  2. Combine the ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, zest, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla in a mixing bowl.

  3. Whisk until well combined.

  4. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a small mixing bowl and mix.

  5. Fold the flour into the ricotta mixture, mixing just until combined.

  6. Fill the spaces in the doughnut about ⅔ full, smoothing the top and keeping the center free of batter.

  7. Bake for 15-17 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

  8. Let cool a few minutes in the pan before turning out onto a cooling rack.

  9. Repeat with the remaining batter if needed.

  10. Paint the tops of the warm doughnuts lightly with the remaining lemon juice and press into the chunky sugar.

  11. That’s-a nice-a doughnut.
