Ricotta Casadelle

Ricotta Casadelle -
My friends and some family members who come from a Sicilian household, tell me they were a favorite.  If you visit Sicily,  you will see that they are made with ricotta from sheep's milk and they are amazing. They are still very popular in Sicily and most of the bakeries carry them.

Dough: 4 cups flour, 4 Tablespoons shortening, 1/2 water. Mix together to make a soft dough.
Filling: 2 lbs. ricotta, 4-6 Tablespoons sugar, cinnamon to taste. Mix well. Mini chocolate chips can be added.

Roll out the dough, cut into turnover shapes. Fill with ricotta filling. Seal edges and fry in hot oil. Can be dusted with powdered or granulated sugar.
