Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl
Mix eggs, ricotta, buttermilk, and vanilla extract in another bowl until just blended.
Combine the wet in the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. You should have a relatively stiff batter.
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a frying pan to 375. WARNING: never leave hot oil unattended and wear protective clothing should it splatter on you and burn.
Spoon a dollop of batter into the oil. If its hot enough you will see bubbles at the edges start to appear. Begin to fry one of the zeppole as a tester for the temperature of the oil. Once the right temperature is achieved begin to fry the rest of the Zeppoli.
Fry 2-3 minutes on each side and turn when golden brown.
Line a plate with paper towels to remove excess oil from frying.
Dust Zeppole with powdered confectioners sugar using a sieve. Plate with figs and honey. Makes about 10-12 Zeppole.
