Preparation

Make the Cannoli Shells
In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Add the egg yolk, white wine, and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Roll and Cut the Dough
After resting, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles about 4 inches in diameter.

Form the Shells
Wrap each dough circle around a cannoli tube, sealing the edges with water. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C) and fry the shells until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
