1 hrIngredients
| GRAPEFRUIT & CAMPARI MARMALADE | |
| 300g small grapefruit (approx 2) | |
| juice of 1 grapefruit | |
| juice of 1 orange | |
| ¼ cup (60ml) Campari | |
| 440g caster sugar | |
| 1 cinnamon quill | |
| BOMBOLINI | |
| 3 eggs | |
| 110g caster sugar plus 220g extra for sugar coating | |
| finely grated zest and juice of 1 grapefruit | |
| 250g ricotta cheese | |
| 375g plain flour | |
| 2 teaspoons baking powder | |
| 1-2 tablespoons milk | |
| vegetable oil, for frying | |
| ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Instructions
| 1. | MARMALADE |
| 2. | To make the marmalade, slice the grapefruit into 3mm-thick rounds, then cut each round, like a pizza, into 8 pieces. |
| 3. | Put all the ingredients into a saucepan over a medium-high heat and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. |
| 4. | Cook for 35-40 minutes, or until reduced and the grapefruit is transparent. Transfer to a jar to cool. |
| 5. | BOMBOLINI |
| 6. | Whisk the eggs, sugar, grapefruit zest and juice and ricotta in a bowl. |
| 7. | Add the flour and baking powder. Fold to combine. |
| 8. | Add enough milk to loosen the mixture slightly – it should be the consistency of scone mixture. |
| 9. | Half-fill a deep-fryer or large saucepan with oil and heat to 170°C (a cube of bread will turn golden in 60 seconds when the oil is hot enough). |
| 10. | In four batches, roll tablespoons of mixture between wet hands and deep-fry, turning halfway, for 3-4 minutes or until golden and crisp. |
| 11. | Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. |
| 12. | Combine the extra sugar and the cinnamon in a bowl. |
| 13. | Add the bombolini and toss to coat. |
| 14. | Serve the bombolini halved with marmalade alongside to spoon over. |
