   • In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, and salt.
   • Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
   • Create a well in the center and pour the eggs and wine into it.
   • Gradually stir with a fork, bringing the dry mixture into the center until a dough forms.
   • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead in the remaining flour until smooth.
   • Cover and let it rest for 5 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, sugar, and vanilla extract until well blended.

3. Assemble the Ravioli:

   • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness.
   • Using a cookie cutter, cut out 3-inch circles.
   • Place 1 tablespoon of the ricotta cheese mixture in the center of each circle.
   • Fold the edges over to form a half-moon shape and press to seal.

4. Freeze the Ravioli:

   • To prevent the filling from oozing out while frying, freeze the ravioli until firm.

5. Fry the Ravioli:

   • In a large, heavy skillet, heat oil to 365°F (185°C), about one inch deep.
   • Carefully place the frozen ravioli into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
   • Fry until both sides are golden brown.

6. Serve:

   • Drain the fried ravioli on paper towels to remove excess oil.
   • Dust with confectioners’ sugar or drizzle with honey before serving.

Tips

• Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying to achieve a crispy exterior.
• You can customize the filling by adding ingredients such as chocolate chips, nuts, or citrus zest for added flavor.
• For a savory twist, try filling the ravioli with a combination of cheese and herbs.
• Serve the Deep Fried Sweet Ravioli Treats warm for the best taste and texture.
