Step by step

Put on each dough circle a spoonful of the ricotta filling. Pinch the edge at intervals so as to get a raised border, leaving a container for the filling.

Tips
You may want to add a brushing of water syrup made with sugar or honey to the freshly-baked ricotta pastries. You can then decorate with coloured sprinkles.
Trivia
There are several ways to fill the pastry shell: in spoonfuls, as suggested in our recipe, or simply use your hands to make the cheese mixture into balls that will fit into the pastry case, to give a more swollen shape to the ricotta pastries.
