Lemon Ricotta Fritters With Lavender Honey Recipe

The batter can be made before dinner, and then it is just a matter of deep-frying the fritters. The reward will be crisp, freshly cooked, melt-in-your-mouth morsels with soft lemony centers, just the thing to dip into fragrant lavender honey. In Provence, the bees that frequent the wild purple-budded bushes growing near their hives make lavender honey. Be aware that this homemade version, infused with lavender flowers, needs to stand for 24 hours before being used. Only your own lavender will do, freshly harvested from the garden.
