Beat the egg and ricotta together till smooth, then add the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, Amaretto, orange zest and sugar together until you have a smooth batter.

Warm 2 teaspoons of a flavourless oil in a heavy based frying pan until a cube of bread sizzles.

Oil a teaspoon and drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil, about 4 at a time. As the under side cooks flip over and crisp the other side. Remove onto kitchen paper. Repeat until all the batter is used, then sprinkle with icing sugar and serve.

Lovely with a mocha coffee.
