batter is smooth. Lightly grease a 12- or 24-cup mini-muffin pan or small dariole molds. 
Fill each muffin cup three-quarters full. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Warm. Makes 48-60 Puffs.

Hi Patty,

The below recipe is what I found with the name cassateddi that you sent. This one is chocolate rather than lemon. I could not find a lemon one.

There is also a long article about them here:

Cassateddi

Phaed

Cassateddi

Dough: 
4 c. sifted flour
1/2 sugar
3/4 c shortening
2 eggs
Milk as needed

Combine flour and sugar. Cut in shortening. Mix in eggs and add in some 
milk to get dough consistency kind of like soft pie dough. Kind of between 
pie dough and roll out cookie dough if that makes any sense.

Filling:
1 lb drained ricotta (I prefer whole milk)
1 oz chopped semi sweet chocolate
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3 heaping tsp sugar

Mix all ingred. in med bowl until smooth. Refrigerate for at least an hour. 
(so make the filling first)
Roll out dough to about 1/8 inch thickness and cut out in about 4 inch circles, 
put about 1/2 tsp of filling in center, fold over and seal edges. Deep fry, cool 
slightly and then dust with powdered sugar.Great served warm or chilled.
