Cannoli Directions
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in egg yolks and wine (or vinegar) until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the dough until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 4-inch circles.

Fry the Shells
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Wrap each dough circle around a cannoli tube and seal the edges with a bit of water. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
