These little bites of heaven are a special breakfast treat.
Wondering where the name "Morning Kisses" came from?
When you serve "Morning Kisses", your entire family GIVES you morning kisses :) I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Ingredients
-
1 cricotta cheese
-
2eggs
-
1/2 cflour
-
1 1/2 tspbaking powder
-
1/8 tspsalt
-
1/2 tspnutmeg
-
2-3 Tbspsugar
-
1 Tbsporange zest
-
1 tsporange extract
-
1/2 tspvanilla extract
-
·safflower oil
-
2 Tbsppowdered sugar
How to Make Morning Kisses
- In a medium bowl combine ricotta and eggs; mix until smooth.
- Add flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, sugar, orange zest, orange extract and vanilla; combine until smooth.
- Fill a large, shallow skillet with approximately 3/4 inch of safflower oil. Place over medium-high heat. (You will know when the oil is hot enough when a bit of batter sizzles when dropped in.) Drop small rounded teaspoons of batter into the hot oil, 8 to 10 at a time. The batter will puff and undersides will turn golden brown, after about 1 to 2 minutes, flip the "kisses" over and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes until golden brown.
- Place cooked "kisses" on a tray lined with paper towels. Continue making them until all the batter is gone.
- Place these delicate little puffs on a serving plate and sprinkle liberally with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
