I'd love to make this right away. Only, no ricotta in the house. Could I use cream cheese instead?
Hmmm... let me go bake it and check. Back in an hour! PJHOK, here's the deal: you won't get as smooth-looking a result, but it's very tasty. Substitute cream cheese for ricotta as follows: Reduce the butter to 2 ounces (1/4 cup). Work 3 ounces cream cheese and the butter into the flour as directed. Mix the egg and vanilla with a generous 1/3 cup milk. Proceed as directed in the recipe. YUMMMMM... PJH
