St. Gregory the Great Globi

Prep Time3 minutes
Resting Time30 minutes
Course: Dessert
Servings: 20 globi

Ingredients

  • 1 C ricotta cheese drained
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ C all-purpose flour
  • oil for frying
  • ¼ C honey
  • 2 tbsp poppy seeds

Instructions

  • Combine the ricotta (drained), egg, and flour until a dough forms. Cover it and let it rest for 30 minutes. 
  • Near the end of the 30 minutes, begin heating the frying oil in a pan 1" deep over medium high heat to about 365 degrees.
  • Form the dough into 1" balls and test the oil by dropping one ball in. It should start to brown in about 1-2 minutes. After removing it and letting it cool, the globi should be cooked through and golden on the outside. 
  • Cook the rest of the globi being sure not to crowd the pan. Remove the balls and place them on a paper towel to cool.
  • Drizzle with honey and sprinkle on the poppy seeds to finish.
