These shell are wrapped around cannoli tubes and deep fried. Cannoli shells are traditionally filled with a rich ricotta cheese filling. Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon white sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
3/4 cup white wine |
1 egg yolk, beaten |
1 quart oil for frying |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and cinnamon. Using a fork, blend in the white wine. When dough forms a ball, turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
2. Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep heavy skillet to 365 degrees F (180 degrees F). On a lightly floured surface, roll 1/3 of the dough out into a big circle as thin as paper. Cut into 8 (5-inch) circles. Wrap each circle around a cannoli form, and seal with egg yolk.
3. Fry 2 or 3 at a time until golden brown. remove with tongs to drain on paper towels. Carefully remove shells from forms while they are still hot, or they may become stuck.
